RENO, Nev., Feb. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Clear Capital announced plans to hire more than 50 new employees at its Reno headquarters by the end of the year. The move follows news of Nevada’s sustained private sector growth and the addition of nearly 41,000 jobs statewide in 2017.
“We’re creating permanent jobs, meaning more dollars will be spent in our local businesses and that investment will stay in our community in the long run,” said Clear Capital President and Co-Founder Kevin Marshall. “Reno is an outdoor-lover’s paradise filled with incredible talent, trailblazing startups and a national Tier 1 University, and we’re excited to continue our growth from right here in Northern Nevada.”
Clear Capital provides technology, services and analytics to the nation’s largest banks and investment firms to help make critical, collateral valuation decisions.
