Case Study: Materials Research Company Protects IP and Scales Secure Hiring with Clearspeed Verbal

Materials Research Company - Customer Case Study

Materials Research Company, a high-tech startup in Silicon Valley specializing in materials research, faced a significant challenge in protecting its intellectual property during a period of rapid growth. With a 300% employee growth rate over two years, the company needed an efficient and effective way to vet both new candidates and existing employees to mitigate the high costs and existential risks associated with insider threats, whether from negligence or criminal intent.

The startup implemented Clearspeed Verbal, a voice analytics solution, to screen individuals via an automated phone questionnaire. This allowed them to quickly establish risk levels and focus their investigative resources on high-risk cases. As a result, Clearspeed enabled the company to scale securely from 20 to 80 employees, creating a pervasive culture of security. The objective data provided by Clearspeed gave the security team confidence in their vetting process and helped prevent potential IP theft.
