Getclara

CLARA (operating at getclara.io, incorporated as CLARA, Inc., a Delaware corporation) sells an AI-based applicant screening and assessment platform for recruiters and hiring teams. Its core output is a "skills-alignment profile" for each applicant, intended to go beyond keyword and synonym matching by interpreting context: identifying adjacent and transferable skills and skill equivalencies (for example, recognizing that a healthcare project manager may hold skills applicable to technology roles), and assessing traits the company describes as performance-predictive, including critical thinking, learning agility, grit, resourcefulness, resilience, and "distance traveled." Soft-skill assessment uses scenario-based exercises the company describes as scientifically validated and offered at no additional cost.

The product also standardizes how candidate information is presented in order to reduce bias: uniform formatting removes resume-design cues such as fonts, colors and logos, synthesized summaries can be shared with hiring managers, views can be switched between data visualization and list formats, and de-identification settings are available. CLARA states that it integrates with existing applicant tracking systems — naming Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Jobvite, Workday and SAP SuccessFactors — in under 30 minutes, without long implementation cycles or large setup fees, and that it can also be used standalone by teams without an ATS.

The platform collects and processes personal data on both sides of the hiring transaction: job applicants who create accounts may supply name, contact details, demographic information such as race or ethnicity, and employment and education history, while employer customers supply business contact data and may transmit applicant records. The company's privacy policy states that collected information may be used to improve its artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, to benchmark results for customers, and to aggregate and de-identify data. Its terms of service include an AI addendum setting out obligations for both parties regarding the provision and use of artificial intelligence in the services.
