Laureen Meroueh Founder and CEO

I can safely say that this has been the most useful hiring resource that an investor has offered us so far. We’ve gotten a lot of specific advice on our situation and candidate offers. We’ve leaned on the Pear team to talk to candidates as part of offer negotiations. And we’ve gotten access to Pear’s recruiting software for free.

Pear’s talent team has been an instrumental partner in helping us plan how to up-level our engineering organization. They’ve supported us through critical decisions, ranging from a reorg to in-person/remote work considerations to hiring at the individual contributor and executive levels.

David Bromberg, PhD Co-founder and CEO

The most important thing in an early stage company is your team, and Pear 100% nails it. We initially found it very challenging to hire a superstar NLP candidate with the explosive growth caused by ChatGPT for those candidates, once Pear jumped in, they really helped us stand out as a startup and land someone who is absolutely perfect.
