Our employees are encouraged to seek out opportunities within their respective roles to leverage AI and share their learnings to support ongoing learning & improvements at the department level. We currently do this through the following:

  • AI Committee with representation across all departments to drive AI adoption & continuous learning
  • AI-Enablement Slack Channel to encourage usage, share use/test cases, and best practices
  • AI Lunch & Learns to educate folks at all levels, go through real examples, and experiment in a safe & practical way
  • Company-paid AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude) for all employees
  • Partnerships within the industry and professional communities

We have built an organizational culture where AI is seamlessly integrated into our respective workflows and practices as we continue to scale. This in turn helps us make smarter decisions, increase efficiency, and drive value for our business & customers. As we grow, we ‘re looking to improve ways of working and redesigning with AI.

Assessing AI Fluency

When it comes to AI usage, we encourage candidates to leverage AI but more importantly be prepared to communicate usage & impact. Our hiring teams care about how you make decisions and your ability to problem-solve. As a result, we’re not critiquing the use of AI but evaluating judgement, clarity, and thought process. This means effectively communicating by specifying how you’re leveraging AI, tools used, and impact made.

A reminder that different departments' proficiency, usage, and maturity with AI will vary. Get curious with hiring managers and teams to understand their AI wins and learnings - as much as we want to learn about you, we encourage you to do the same!

Best Practices:

We value talent who are utilizing AI effectively and see this as a key skill amongst our top performers. It’s also key to ensure you understand any AI-generated material and can speak to it. Some best practices include:

  • Be clear about where and why you used AI
  • Share how it influenced your thinking or approach
  • Outline what you accepted, rejected, and/or modified
  • Remain open about your process (factors, assumptions, prompts, etc.)
  • Focus on outcomes (time saved, quality improved, decisions accelerated, etc.)

Ways to Leverage AI:

There’s various ways to leverage AI as a candidate depending on the stage you’re at in the interview process. This includes your application & resume, prepping for upcoming interviews, and for any assessments or cases. Recommendations include:

  • Initial research to understand the product, industry, and customers
  • Understanding role requirements and updating resume to reflect relevant expertise
  • Interview preparation (i.e.: interview tools for mock interviews & real-time feedback) to refine your interviewing skills and techniques
  • Applying your skills (as you would on the job if you were in the role) through cases, assignments, or technical assessments (where applicable)

How Hiring Teams Evaluate:

As previously shared, our hiring teams want to understand your usage & thought process. We are evaluating judgement, clarity, and decision-making. Be prepared to communicate the following:

  • Specific, experience-based examples and results
  • Clear reasoning and data-driven decision-making
  • Articulating thoughtful trade-offs and assumptions
  • Comfort explaining ideas and expertise in navigating ambiguity

The general principle is to use AI to enhance your thinking, not replace it. Ultimately, we encourage everyone to view AI as a tool to amplify their impact and drive meaningful outcomes, not as a replacement for critical thought.

Our Commitment to ED&I

At Clariti, we’re on a continuous learning journey as it relates to Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion. We know that diversity is a strength, and recognize that the unique backgrounds across our team help us make better decisions, result in more creative solutions, and ultimately lead us to stronger paths of success. We’re working to create a workplace and team that is as diverse as the communities we serve, and we aim to provide an environment that allows every person to bring their whole and authentic self to work every day.

As a smaller organization, we have a Community & Culture Committee that represents all parts of our organization with executive sponsorship. We’ve set a foundation for ED&I from prospective hire's first touchpoint with Clariti in our hiring process and embedded ED&I education into the employee onboarding journey. We have a goal to continue this thread throughout the employee experience, while growing our awareness levels and continuously measuring our progress.

Curious to learn more about our ED&I efforts? Inquire during your initial screening with a member of our Talent team or follow us on LinkedIn - we can provide glimpse into our culture & how our teams demonstrate our ongoing learnings and commitment to ED&I and more!

FAQ’s

How do I apply to Clariti?

Please apply directly through our current openings or via a job board to ensure your application is considered by our hiring team. Because we’re a small (but mighty) team, we don’t have the capacity to manage applications outside of our applicant tracking system.

Is there an application deadline for open roles?

There’s no application deadline for open roles, but we encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we typically begin initial screening calls within a week of posting. You’ll also be able to reference our job descriptions throughout the interview process as we leave each posting up until a role is filled.

What is Clariti’s interview process?

All of our interviews take place virtually using video-conferencing tools and most roles have a 3-4 step interview process; senior leadership positions, technical positions, and more niche positions may differ or require an assessment however this will be discussed in the screening call.

If you’re shortlisted for a role, the first step is an initial screening call (audio only, cameras off) with a member of our talent acquisition team. Then, if you’re selected to move on to the next stage, you’ll participate in a functional video interview (cameras on) with the hiring manager. Lastly, if you’re moved to final interview stage, you’ll take part in a culture-add interview with two Clariti team members you’d work closely with in the role (ex: peers, executive or skip-level leader, direct reports, or cross-functional stakeholders) as it's important to us that each hire we make is an add to our culture.

Following the interview process, the successful candidate will receive an offer of employment at which time we will request references to conduct a reference check and background check, which are both required for new hires.

What is Clariti’s culture like?

Our culture is best described by our core values (taking ownership, growth mindset, courageous communication, and customer focus) which are present in everything we do as an organization, and are demonstrated every day by our employees. They’re embedded into our processes for hiring (ex) our culture interviews, how we promote talent, how we manage performance, and how we recognize employees & celebrate success.

How does Clariti keep remote employees engaged?

There are several ways we facilitate team building in our remote-first environment. First and foremost, we have our awesome culture committee who organize inclusive events, initiatives, and programs for all employees. We also include social interactions in many of our org-wide meetings, and get together in person for our annual offsite which we all look forward to each year! Previous offsites have been held in Whistler and Palm Springs, and your guess is as good as ours what amazing location it’ll be held at next!

How does the business assess employee performance?

All employees have various measures of success, performance, and KPIs that they’re accountable for. For new hires these are outlined during the hiring & onboarding process and for existing hires these are aligned on during quarterly planning by functional and executive leadership.

On a semi-annual basis we go through performance reviews for all employees who have been at Clariti for +90 days prior to the review period in order to fairly assess performance over a period spanning +3 months.

Beyond our formal review periods and onboarding program, all people leaders provide ongoing coaching & development to their direct teams and we encourage communicating courageously across the organization to maintain a culture of feedback.

What does the first 90 days of onboarding look like?

All new hires go through a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan which includes immersive org-wide onboarding (i.e. day 1 orientation, check-ins with our people & talent team, and departmental onboarding overview sessions, etc.) as well as targeted functional and role-specific onboarding to ensure you are set up for success as you learn the business, build relationships, and begin to serve in your role. In addition, you and your direct leader will align on 3-month milestones of success.

What is the leadership structure and style at Clariti?

We have two Co-CEOs who split responsibilities - Jake Dancyger and Cyrus Symoom. Jake oversees the Product & Design, Engineering, and Customer Experience teams while Cyrus oversees the Sales, Marketing, People & Talent, and Finance teams. Our structure is relatively flat, despite having experts & leaders with multiple decades of experience within their function. A flatter structure allows all employees access to leadership, including our Co-CEOs.
