This is a very nice review. I just recently signed up and I just have to say that the pay has significantly dropped from when this article was made, specially for non-US contractors and they are most certainly still lowering their rates. My wife signed up just a few months earlier than me and she’s given a third more than what’s on my contract. Though this is the case, I can still say that the Pros out weighs the Cons. It is just sad to think that I could be earning a bit more if I just signed up earlier.

In reply to JL.

Hi JL,

Thank you for stopping by! This article was written nearly 2 years ago. In that time, Clara has changed how they operate — a lot. They’ve gone back and forth from hourly to per project and from direct hiring to using Upwork.

Thanks for letting me know they’ve changed things up again. Good luck 🙂

Happily,

Ashlee

I must say, the way you described the pay system in your article was quite misleading and would point to the fact that you, the author, really didn’t do your research. You said contractors get paid $11/ hr and some of the best make upwards of $15/ hr, but Clara doesn’t even pay by the hour, it pays by the job.

I got hired with Clara recently and so far I have to say, it has been great! I am within the US, as are many others that work for Clara. If you are looking for a “get rich from home for doing minimal work” job, this is not for you. You must pay close attention to what you are doing and take time to learn protocol to be efficient and successful. The support available with clara is wonderful, they are great with answering any questions or concerns that you may have. So far, this has been a big blessing for my family as I am able to continue to stay home with my son and still have an income. No, I don’t make tons of money doing this, but I also and still learning, and it still helps us a bunch.

i worked for clara, what they say is a lie. they used to contract US based freelancers. now, they are all filipinnos. they pushed out all the americans by changing their pay structure from hourly (average US pay was $16/hr) to one where you only get paid per email you work on. the way they created the hours structure was an excel spreadsheet where everyone signed up at the same time, hoping to grab the most hours. it wasn’t regulated and slowed their entire system down so good luck getting a decent amount of hours to work. everyone who started with them left because of the injustices brought by OLGA. no american can afford to work for the pennies they were paying so only filipinos would do their work. this was all at the end of 2015. what i heard shortly after was their entire structure was going down the drain, they lost tons of accounts because they weren’t paying and filipinos couldn’t handle the american grammar and system. maybe they’ve changed, but their bottom line became about what was most financially beneficial to them, not the “clara’s” who helped build and improve their “software”. last i knew, they were ONLY hiring filipinos and unless you want to be paid pennies per email, as opposed to hourly, i wouldn’t bother. they only care about money now. their investors rule them and they could care less about their “clara’s”

I tried applying with them about a month ago. Got through all of the interview steps just fine, they were ready to hire…then said they could not hire someone from Colorado because of state regulations. They then said that if they “expand to other states”, they would let me know.

The notion of being able to work from anywhere seems to be false, but I definitely didn’t see any stipulation on their application site, nor did I know about it until I was basically hired lol. So that sucked.
