Talent Agent (Remote)

About Clera

Clera is rethinking how top talent finds their next opportunity. We're backed by leading U.S. investors and already work with some of the most respected startups in AI, including Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf.

Our AI Talent Agent sits at the center of how candidates get matched, qualified, and introduced to world-class companies.

We’re now looking for a Senior Recruiter (Talent Agent) to help us scale our U.S. searches. This is a high-impact role where you combine your recruiting expertise with a next-generation AI workflow and directly shape how modern recruiting works.

Your Mission

Own high-impact, end-to-end searches for U.S.-based roles using Clera's AI platform. You'll be the strategic recruiting partner for our clients: running full cycles, advising hiring managers, and using data and judgment to drive great hires.

This is a high-ownership role in a fast-moving startup for someone who's comfortable operating independently, pushing back when needed, and making strong calls on talent.

What You'll Do

• Run full-cycle recruiting for U.S.-based roles using Clera's AI-powered platform.

• Review AI-generated matches and quickly identify the strongest, most relevant talent.

• Interview and qualify candidates, then present tight, high-signal shortlists to hiring managers.

• Join client calls, clarify role requirements, and provide honest, strategic hiring guidance.

• Act as a true partner to clients, including challenging unclear or unrealistic expectations.

• Own candidate pipelines end-to-end, ensuring fast, clean movement through every stage.

• Give structured feedback to the engineering team to improve matching logic and workflows.

• Keep candidate notes and process documentation accurate, up to date, and reliable.

• Prioritize across multiple searches and drive them to successful hires with minimal oversight.

What You Bring

• 3+ years recruiting for U.S. clients or U.S.-based roles.

• Proven experience in fast-paced environments (startup or high-velocity agency).

• Strong client-facing presence: clear communication, expectation management, and relationship-building.

• Excellent English, written and spoken.

• Ability to work aligned with Pacific Time (PST), including occasional evening or weekend calls.

• High comfort with tools, ATS, and AI-driven workflows.

• Sharp judgment on skills, experience, and culture add—not just keyword matching.

• High ownership, reliability, and the ability to move fast without hand-holding.

Nice to Have

• Experience recruiting across multiple functions (engineering, sales, operations, G&A).

• Background in both agency and in-house recruiting.

• Hands-on experience improving recruiting tools, processes, or products.

• Success managing multiple searches and high-volume pipelines in parallel.

Role Details

• Location: U.S. Remote

• Schedule: Flexible, 40–50 hours/week aligned with PST
