Clasp is a venture-backed, mission-driven startup and high-retention recruiting platform designed for hard-to-hire talent. It connects employers, schools, and talent with accessible education financing to tackle the student debt crisis.
What core values and traits does Clasp look for in candidates?
Clasp evaluates candidates based on five core values and multiplier traits:
- Built for the Customer: Starting with the customer (students, employers, or colleagues) and measuring success through outcomes rather than just completed tasks.
- Ownership That Delivers Outcomes: Accountability for results from defining a problem all the way to delivery, showing proactiveness when things slow down.
- Continuous Evolution: Seeking rapid personal growth, feedback, and constant improvement.
- Focus Where It Matters: Using data to make clear tradeoffs and spending time on high-impact work.
- Build Strong Relationships: Building trust, communicating early and often, and aligning teams.
What does the interview process at Clasp look like?
The intentional, role-tailored interview process typically includes:
- Recruiter Screen: A preliminary review to understand your motivations and whether Clasp is the right fit.
- 1-on-1 with the Hiring Manager: A deep dive into the role and team dynamics.
- Role-Specific Assessments: Depending on the job, this may involve live working sessions, roleplay, or case study presentations.
- Multiplier Assessor Panel: A panel interview evaluated against Clasp's core multiplier traits to assess how you work and operate.
How can you stand out as a candidate during the application process at Clasp?
You can stand out by leveraging network connections (smart people know smart people), demonstrating deep ownership by explaining how you made ideas happen rather than just suggesting them, and showing thorough research on the learners and employers Clasp serves.
