Clear Point Consultants

What Clear Point Consultants does

Clear Point Consultants is a woman-owned, privately-held staffing and consulting firm headquartered in Gloucester, Massachusetts, that has operated continuously since 1989. The firm provides four core service offerings — Contract Staffing, Contract-to-Hire Staffing, Direct Placement, and Executive Search — organized across four focus areas: Technology (AI Architecture, Cloud/DevOps, Software Development, Data, Security, ERP/CRM, Robotics/Embedded, Engineering, Agile), Creative (UX/UI, Content, Digital Marketing, eLearning), Accounting & Finance (Financial Analysis, Accounting, Tax, Auditing, FP&A, Controller), and Executive Search (Director through C-level across IT, Security, Finance, Product, Operations, R&D). It targets enterprise and mid-market companies seeking specialized talent in these disciplines.

The product is human talent placement rather than software; Clear Point does not maintain a proprietary technology platform, patents, APIs, or AI/ML products. Its value proposition centers on proactively identifying and engaging passive candidates — professionals excelling in current roles rather than active job seekers — with an emphasis on cultural fit alongside technical skills. Testimonials spanning more than a decade cite over 90% new-hire success rates, high contractor-to-FTE conversion, and at one client, 60% of the executive team having been placed by the firm. The firm has no M&A history, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed ownership transitions.

Revenue is generated through placement fees: hourly/weekly billing with markup for Contract Staffing, combination contract-plus-conversion fees for Contract-to-Hire, percentage-of-first-year-salary fees for Direct Placement, and premium retained or contingent pricing for Executive Search. The firm runs a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market motion targeting enterprise and mid-market clients, with the website (clearpoint.team), an email newsletter, and direct phone/email outreach as primary touchpoints. Geographic reach is domestic United States with international calling via an 888 number. Headcount is in the 11–50 band, with no operational geographies, no social media presence, and no public customer logos disclosed.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Contract Staffing Placement of technology, creative, accounting/finance, and other professionals on a contract basis for temporary, project-based work at client organizations; billed hourly or weekly based on consultant rates with markup.
• Contract-to-Hire Staffing Transitional staffing arrangement where a consultant is placed on contract initially, allowing the client to evaluate the candidate before converting them to a direct permanent hire; revenue combines contract period billing with a potential conversion fee.
• Direct Placement Permanent placement of technology, creative, accounting/finance, and other professionals directly with client companies, billed as a one-time placement fee typically calculated as a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary.
• Executive Search Recruitment service for Director, VP, and C-level positions across Information Technology, Information Security, Finance & Accounting, Product & Marketing, Business Operations & Strategy, and Research & Development; delivered under retained or contingent search engagements at premium pricing.
