Metacafe Founder’s New Startup: Clear Applications

Israeli paper The Marker is reporting (in Hebrew) that one of the Metacafe founders who recently cashed out and left has turned his attention to business recruitment technology.
Arik Czerniak is now working on Clear Applications, a company that he co-founded seven months ago with two other Metacafe ex-employees, Oren Blatt and Gil Solomon. The startup is developing analytics tools that will help medium and large-sized businesses filter through thousands of job applications and identify those candidates with the best personal and cognitive skills.
Blatt, a former fighter pilot for the Israeli air force, holds the position of CEO. The company reportedly has six employees and is self-funded. No word yet on when they might launch their product, but it’s definitely not imminent; the Clear Applications website still points to a parked page.
first step
More technology that makes working at ‘medium and large sized companies’ even less human - great.

Mark, thx for the coverage!
These days we’re screening almost 100,000 candidates for the second season of Israeli show castaways - who knew techcrunch would find our parked page?..
Anyway we fixed the link and would love to tell you more about what we’re doing and what’s coming soon.

Money is the root of all evil. There is no need for automated resume readers I am sure a lot of people are going to be losing their jobs over this.
The next war will be fought between the intellectuals and the anti-intellectuals. Guess who will have most of the money and guess who will have most of the guns?
While I agree that money is often the root of evil. Clear-application’s work can deal with a serious problem of biased job hiring. As a psychologist I see the kind of discrimination we are ALL prone to when dealing with others. In the job market this is quite evident. A computer holds no biases against race, gender or age groups. Here is an opportunity for people to prove their true worth, regardless of race, sex or creed.
