Posts from Clearcover's Recruiters Part 1: Our Hiring Process Explained

Written by Team Clearcover | April 4th, 2022

In 2021, Clearcover filled over 200 open positions across all departments and now, as the new year begins, we're continuing to scale our team. As a remote-first company, we're fortunate to recruit from a nationwide talent pool and are currently filling over 60 open positions. We're eager to welcome new Clearcover-ers to our team, and strive to make the hiring process as transparent and straightforward as possible for all candidates.

Over a series of blog posts this month, Clearcover's recruiting team will explain our recruiting process, introduce themselves and talk about their roles, and offer tips for job seekers on how to optimize their resumes and LinkedIn pages, prepare for Zoom interviews, and more.

For this post, we sat down with Talent Acquisition Manager Steven Cha, Recruiter Ryan Humenik, and HR Coordinator Olivia Paciga to fully detail Clearcover's hiring process.

Please describe Clearcover's recruiting process once an open role has been posted.
Once jobs are live on Clearcover's Careers page, applications will start to filter in that first week of the job being posted. Recruiters will review the candidate's resume and see if the skillsets match the role they are recruiting for. If a candidate is a match, recruiters will conduct an initial phone screen with the candidate. If the candidate passes the initial phone screen, they will advance to the next step, which will either be a Hiring Manager Call or Assessment stage. The candidate may receive an assessment created by the recruiting team after passing the initial phone interview. If the candidate passes the assessment/hiring manager interview, they will advance to a virtual face-to-face stage where they will meet with Clearcover team members. Once the interview has been completed, HR and the hiring committee will conduct a debrief, and decide on if they will extend an offer or not.

After an applicant applies for an open role, what can they expect?

After Clearcover receives multiple applications, recruiters will go through Greenhouse, our applicant tracking system, to see the overall candidate pool and move forward with candidates that fit the needs of the job. If the candidate passes the initial resume review, they will receive a calendly link invite to schedule the best suitable time for an interview based on the recruiter’s availability and the candidate’s availability. Then the interview process mentioned above will take place. Candidates can expect to receive an answer from a Clearcover recruiter about whether or not they will move forward in the interview/hiring process within one or two weeks.

What is the typical timeline for filling an open position?

Clearcover's timeline for filling a role will vary depending on the role itself, but recruiters do try to fill an open role within the first 30-45 days of posting the position.

Now that you're familiar with Clearcover's recruiting process, we invite you to visit our Careers site and apply for an open position today!

National Mentoring Day

At Clearcover, we value growth from within, and one way we support this is through our Future Summit Leaders program, hosted by our Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Council (EIDC). This mentorship program, which includes workshops, worksheets, mentoring sessions, and helpful resources to support leadership development, is all about fostering a diverse talent pipeline and building a community of employees who raise the bar, fuel innovation, and drive success throughout our organization. Within the last year, the EIDC has successfully launched two cohorts, each spanning 6-months and totaling over 30 participants.

As we celebrate National Mentoring Day on October 27th, we're proud to highlight this initiative, which aims to help our team members reach their full potential through mentorship, creating a culture of ongoing learning and development company-wide. Here's a glimpse into what some of our mentors and mentees have to say about their experience in the Future Summit Leaders Program at Clearcover:

Empowering Voices: Highlights from Clearcover's African American Network Panel

At Clearcover, we're all about fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. That's why we believe in the power of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to inspire our employees through candid conversations. Recently, our Clearcover African American Network (CAAN) hosted a panel discussion centered around unique experiences and connections to Black History Month.

Clearcover's Perks Attract Job Seekers

At the conclusion of his job search last summer, Customer Advocacy Supervisor Joseph Cox received offers at various salary points. But for Joseph, like so many other job seekers, salary was not the final factor in his decision. Instead, Clearcover's perks and benefits ultimately led him to accept his current role. Recently, after several months as a Clearcover-er, Joseph wrote a LinkedIn post about how Clearcover's perks led to his decision to join our team.

Clearcover's Employee Resource Group: Clearcover African American Network

Since Clearcover's Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Council (EIDC) launched Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) last year, Clearcover-ers across departments have created and joined spaces where they can interact with team members who share their common backgrounds or interests. The groups' Slack channels, which are open to anyone in the company, have quickly become sites of shared stories and photos, requests for advice, offers of support, and virtual large and small group meet-ups. Parents, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and women at Clearcover had all formed their own ERG's when Claims Manager Jerrell West recognized an opportunity for African American Clearcover-ers to have their own community.
