Like the other 1-star reviewers, I got the cold email for a fraudulent job offer. For me the 'from' address was: daniel.wintermeyer[at]provenplace.dev. They seem to have many domains, likely to prevent their spam score from getting too high. After a short reply, I got a response 10m later asking for personal info and a resume. This set my scammer senses tingling (I work in cybersecurity), so I looked into the company. 5 months old, and already 41 pages of jobs from startups. Sure. Looking into it, and pressing the "Daniel" LLM for info without giving up any of my own, I believe the scam is this: They scrape SWEs on linkedin and have an AI make up a tempting job offer, then blast it out to collect more info and put them on their platform. Then they scrape linkedin and startup sites looking for jobs or making them up as necessary, then list them on their site. If they can get SWE A a job at startup B, they then get 15% of that first year's salary. Win! This normally would take quite a few humans doing quite a bit of work, but with the magic of LLMs I doubt they have >$1k / mo in costs. For future folks looking into this, yes it is a scam or at least completely useless. Go through a recruiter or find the startups yourself.

I liked using Clera.

Very nice interface, easy to use, great experience overall. Also very responsive team, love it

Cool real-life AI process supported by awesome humans. Paulina assisted me greatly throughout my whole process of finding a great new tech Job.

Clera has the best personalized recruiting service I’ve come across. The attention they give candidates is unmatched. I felt like I was helped by a friend trying to place me in a job instead of a company driven by a fee for service. Sebastian especially is a 5* individual and I couldn’t recommend Clera enough to anyone looking for a new job. Thank you Clera!

Created high quality matches with their new algorithm. Lots of human in the loop curation has definitely been done behind the scenes to make this work!

This company has generated fake job posts that represent a direct hire for a specific opportunity and after the applicant's data is submitted it is not used for the stated purpose but instead retained as part of a platform used to solicit their potential business and their personal data is shared (without prior consent or disclosure) with third parties. This is highly deceptive and a terrible way to attempt to gain users as you can tell from these other 1-star reviews. You are only gaining detractors using this method and you are potentially opening yourself up to class action lawsuit under California UCL/false-advertising, California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), etc the longer you continue this.

Efficient and easy to use!
