CleverConnect Employee Referrals
What it is
CleverConnect Employee Referrals helps companies recruit through employees' networks, with the stated aim of reducing cost per hire. Employees can submit candidates from a mobile app or desktop, including deskless workers. Referrals can be tied to a vacancy or made speculatively; speculative recommendations go into a separate talent pool. The program supports customizable automated emails and push notifications, configurable bonuses and rewards, points, and a rewards shop. Dashboards and traceable processes help teams monitor referral activity, while centrally available employer-brand content can be shared with relevant job offers. CleverConnect says the product integrates with more than 100 applicant tracking systems, including common systems and interfaces for niche ATSs. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. The product page describes automated consent management, GDPR compliance, and data storage in the EU. Personal data is held in ISO 27001-certified EU data centers, though CleverConnect itself does not currently hold ISO 27001 certification. Pricing is available on request. Support includes onboarding, ongoing consulting, English-speaking local teams, and dedicated Customer Success Managers.
