Who is hired along with Pete on "The Office" at the start of season 9?

The story behind the answer

Clark Green is hired along with Pete Miller at Dunder Mifflin at the start of season 9 of "The Office." The two new employees join the Scranton branch as customer service representatives, arriving after several staffing changes at the company.

Clark is played by Clark Duke, who joined the main ensemble during the show's final season. His character is quickly nicknamed "Dwight Jr." because of his intense ambition, competitive attitude, and willingness to imitate Dwight Schrute in pursuit of advancement.

Pete, played by Jake Lacy, is often called "Plop" by the office staff and becomes closely connected to Erin Hannon. Clark also pursues Erin, creating an awkward romantic rivalry with Pete. The question can be confused with later hires or transfers, but Clark and Pete are the paired new customer-service hires introduced in the season 9 premiere, "New Guys."
