Bottom line
CleverConnect, which absorbed Talentry, is a European talent acquisition platform that works alongside your ATS: employee referrals with a mobile app and built-in employee advocacy, a talent CRM, career sites, campaigns, video interviews and an AI Qualify Agent that screens every applicant. It is sold in modules by quote, mainly to European employers.
Stands out for: Referrals and advocacy live in one module, so employees can both refer people and share employer brand content and job ads, including deskless staff through the mobile app. One customer says referrals through CleverConnect are its second biggest hiring source after Indeed, at 30% of global applications, and the platform is ISO 27001 certified with GDPR automation built in.
Watch out for: No published pricing, and it is a broad European suite, so you may be quoted for more modules than you need. It is built to complement an ATS rather than replace one, and the Talentry branded app and site still exist during the brand transition.
Overview
CleverConnect is a European talent acquisition platform that originated in France and Germany and now works from 15 offices across Europe, with modules in 15 languages and more than 1,000 customers. Talentry, the German employee referral and advocacy software, is now part of CleverConnect.
The Referrals module digitises an employee referral program on desktop and a mobile app, with push notifications for new jobs, custom points and rewards, and employee advocacy so staff share employer brand content and job ads to their own networks.
Qualify Agent uses conversational AI to interview every applicant as soon as they apply, generates questions from the job description, and gives recruiters a match score, a summary of strengths and risks, and a recommended next step, with full transcripts and human override.
The wider platform adds a candidate relationship management CRM with talent pools and AI job matching, multi-step email, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns, career sites with quick apply, pre-recorded video interviews and automated GDPR consent and deletion.
CleverConnect integrates with more than 100 ATS and HRIS systems, including SAP SuccessFactors, through its Exchange integration platform, is ISO 27001 certified for its referral and CRM modules, and quotes all modules after a demo.
