I have tried many job matching platforms such as Indeed, Flexjobs, Handshake, etc. When I first used GetClera it immediately stood out with its intuitive UI and clean layout. Sometimes finding a job feels like a whole job in and of itself, but GetClera felt more like a natural process of presenting my qualifications and having someone hand pick companies and talk me through the application process :)

[redacted VIP] is a [redacted euphemism for people who annoy me].
This is 100% fraud. I will explain, and in even greater detail now that [VIP] is making me edit this again in their second takedown attempt. Naming fraudsters breaks terms of service apparently, so it's up to you to determine how many VIPs are in on it and how many are merely incompetent.
The way the scam works is that Clera has an AI bot that impersonates [VIP] by sending emails from them from a different domain `clera.dev` that redirects to `getclera.com`. This in itself is already a red flag, by the way, because having mismatched domains can be attributed to sloppiness, but provides plausible deniability for any wrongdoing because [VIP] can then wring their hands and cry, "Oh no, it must have been some evildoer spoofing us. Oh, I'd never!"
The subject line claimed that a Y Combinator startup has asked them to reach out and "[VIP]" offered to introduce me to the founders directly. I replied in the affirmative and "[VIP]" followed up by reneging entirely and instead offering "a personalized page of opportunities based on your preferences". So yeah, that's fraud and if this also happened to you you can report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov, not that they'll do anything about it.
Another red flag is that [VIP] had my original review taken down within an hour for "defamation", and I had to provide email evidence to Trustpilot to get it restored. They are really prioritizing damage control here. Speaking of damage control, also after the review was posted [VIP] sent me an email from their actual address, but instead of employing the correct strategy of wringing hands and crying they opted for gaslighting, describing my exchange with the bot as "very confusing." ... And then the bot followed up the next day, unprompted, about this personalized page.
Why are they doing this, you might ask? They're maximizing user engagement so that when they show numbers to investors the investors laugh and clap instead of crying themselves to sleep over investing in the AI slop bubble. The investors are getting defrauded also. Since Y Combinator is mentioned and used as leverage, they're possibly a victim as well -- I'm not a lawyer, but if I were them I'd be a smidge upset.
Anyways, let's take a gander at their actual website shall we? This review is already overly long, but we can look at a couple of cases that stand out, for starters Clera itself. They're their own customer and are allegedly hiring a "Founding Engineer" for $130-160k in San Francisco. This could be high elsewhere, but in the second-most expensive city in the US that's quite low for what is supposed to be a high level position.
For my second example I decided to look at a company that's decidedly, uh, ethnic, as those are usually gold mines. And so it turns out that "[ethnic subcontinent word] Inc" in LA is hiring a "Java Developer" with the qualifications of "Understand Customer." So yeah. I'm so tired... Also, two of the VIPs are trying to connect with me on LinkedIn. That's creepy, right? Anyways, my original though redacted review follows. I wrote it so I think it's funny.
EDIT
As an unemployed unperson, I was both pleased and surprised to receive an email from, for once, someplace other than that most sacred of subcontinents. [VIP] is an upstanding citizen who composes [their] emails entirely by hand. [Their] recruitment emails are most exquisitely human, and one can only hope that eventually every job seeker in the cauldrons of LinkedIn will be blessed and uplifted by them.
Due to [VIP]'s human -- and thus fallible -- nature, [they] [sarcastic comment about human mistakes that violates no stated rule], such as asking "Do you want me to introduce you directly to the founders?" in the original email, and then after an affirmative response following up with "I need to clarify that Clera doesn't schedule calls or make direct introductions."
I most sincerely apologize for any remarks I have originally made impugning [VIP]'s character, and I especially admire the promptness with which [they] had my original review taken down within just an hour. Also, a shout-out -- nay, a standing ovation! -- to the Trust Operations team at Trust Pilot for their eternal vigilance against upstart reviewers like myself who may defame individuals or companies and thus cause the loss of revenue or of their most dear Monthly Active Users.
END OF EDIT
[Redacted comment about people who annoy me that didn't even have any personally identifiable information but was flagged anyway.]

Dub company
The UI made it easy to submit applications and the company was very good at following up on opportunities as they opened and closed, emphasizing transparency. I was able to secure two interviews through them with little input from myself.

Clera is a great job search and hiring…
Clera is a great job search and hiring platform. They have a great matching engine and automated job application system that speeds up the application process. The platform does a great job at helping candidates optimize their job profile to match with positions that fits best with the experience and background of a candidate.

I’ve been working with Clera since last December, and it has been a great experience. The team is friendly, supportive, and communicates clearly throughout the process. They’ve been very helpful, especially in improving my resume and have connected me with interview opportunities I hadn’t been able to find through traditional job boards. I truly appreciate their guidance and support.
