Clarity Recruiting
Prioritizing Human Connection Behind Every Resume

Companies often seek temporary staff to tap into specialized expertise during critical development phases, or to fill in gaps during transitions and leaves of absence. However, businesses are concerned that these candidates may opt for permanent employment elsewhere before their contract ends.

Clarity Recruiting, a certified women-owned enterprise, solves for this common concern. The boutique agency focuses on connecting businesses with candidates looking specifically for short-term assignments that align with their career goals. It also provides temporary-to-permanent and direct-hire solutions for its clients through its extensive referral network.

“We are confident in our ability to source and recommend talent that is open to, if not actively seeking, shorter-term commitments,” says Moira Dorst, CEO of Clarity Recruiting.

Clarity prioritizes the human connection behind every resume. Instead of relying on automated AI-based screening, Clarity’s team of skilled recruiters initiates the hiring process by engaging in extensive and meaningful conversations with candidates.

The screening process involves in-depth video interviews with relevant recruiters who meticulously assess the candidate’s career achievements, salary expectations and preferred job positions to ensure a suitable match with clients. While face-to-face meetings can be arranged at their Midtown office, the majority of interviews are conducted via Zoom. Clarity is valuable to its clients because they outsource payroll and related costs of hiring – including taxes and insurance – for their temporary employees placed at their client companies. The preliminary interview process provides an overview of its payment process, which includes weekly employee payments and eligibility for its 401k, medical and dental benefits. With details communicated in depth and up front, Clarity is able to alleviate concerns businesses have about assignment completion.

After the interview, the candidate’s profile and a detailed summary note are shared with the client company that is seeking talent. The note highlights the interviewer’s unbiased feedback, skills assessment, candidate availability and rationale for considering them a strong fit for the organization.

Clarity specializes in administrative, human resources, finance, creative, legal, and technology recruitment, tailoring its services to meet the specific growth needs of each business. Its ability to do so has helped many organizations navigate periods of rapid expansion, and the need to immediately fill skills gaps on teams during transition phases.

Clarity has recently supported a client’s growth goals by increasing their workforce from 40 employees to 300 in just 18 months.

Clarity is also a true partner to clients. Another recent client assumed they needed a permanent hire to cover an executive on leave, but Clarity advised that they pursue a temp-to-permanent solution instead. This alleviated the pressure to find a perfect longterm hire immediately, while simultaneously filling an urgent need and skills gap. The approach worked well, and the candidate was eventually offered a permanent position approximately a month after the client returned.

A certified diversity recruiter, Clarity conducts biannual training programs for their recruiters, who gain certification through a seven-week training program with an exam requirement. Recognizing the value of diverse teams, all their recruiters are trained and continuously upskilled in diversity recruitment bestpractices. Unlike temporary staffing agencies that simply provide short-term solutions, it builds meaningful partnerships with talented individuals, helping them secure their ideal jobs time and time again.

Clarity operates nationwide, and employs recruiters with networks across the US. Clarity’s headquarters is in Midtown, Manhattan, but their remote-first business model equips recruiters to source and build networks remotely, in their own geographies, as well as tap into the businesses deep historic roots across the greater New York City area.

Clarity acknowledges that hiring exceptional individuals extends beyond resumes and keywords; it involves the nuances of interviews and genuine human interaction. AI may claim to provide access to thousands of candidates in minutes, but Clarity takes pride in their human-centered approach and rigorous qualification methods that are rooted in deep understanding, skills assessment and meaningful relationship building.
