The posting

Overview

Clerq is a Series A financial technology startup based in New York City. The company’s next generation payments platform delivers a seamless checkout experience for high-ticket transactions.

Leveraging modern bank rails, the platform offers the conversion and UX benefits of cards with risk and money movement infrastructure purpose-built for large purchases. Clerq replaces outdated manual payment methods like cash, checks and wires and expensive card surcharges with a smooth, integrated solution that helps merchants convert more customers without sacrificing margins.

Clerq started with the $1T+ U.S. auto vertical, where it's already powering payments for several of the most recognized brands in the industry. With proven traction, the company has expanded into high-growth adjacencies including powersports, home & office and private travel.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
