About CleverConnect
CleverConnect operates as a European talent acquisition software provider, born from the strategic merger and integration of several key HR tech firms, including Meteojob, Visiotalent, and Talentry. The company's history began with the founding of Meteojob in France by Marko Vujasinovic in 2010, Visiotalent in 2014 by Louis Coulon and Gonzague Lefebvre, and Talentry in Germany by Carl Hoffmann in 2012. These entities officially combined under the CleverConnect brand in 2018, creating a comprehensive talent acquisition suite. A significant milestone was the 2022 merger with Talentry, which solidified its Franco-German foundation and positioned Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) as a core component of its platform. In 2025, the company achieved B Corp certification, highlighting its commitment to social and environmental standards.
Read full description
The firm serves medium to large enterprises across Europe, aiming to streamline the entire hiring process from sourcing to retention. Its business model is centered on a subscription-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. This platform is modular, allowing clients to select individual solutions or the entire integrated suite, which complements existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) rather than replacing them. CleverConnect generates revenue by providing these cloud-based tools that help companies attract candidates, manage talent pools, and reduce hiring costs and time.
CleverConnect's core offering is a talent acquisition platform with a suite of integrated, yet standalone, modules. Key products include a Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) system for nurturing talent pools, a tool for creating customized Career Sites to improve conversion, an Employee Referrals program to leverage internal networks, and automated Talent Campaigns for targeted communication. Another significant feature is the Video Interview module, which facilitates pre-screening and allows candidates to showcase soft skills. The platform leverages artificial intelligence for functionalities like CV matching and scoring, aiming to connect employers with the right talent more efficiently. This integrated approach helps businesses build and capitalize on their talent pools, moving away from reactive recruitment.
