CleverConnect Employee Referrals helps companies recruit through employees’ networks, with the aim of reducing cost per hire. Employees can submit referrals from a mobile app or desktop, including deskless workers. Recommendations can be tied to open vacancies or submitted speculatively; speculative referrals go into a separate talent pool. The program supports automated, customizable emails and push notifications, configurable bonuses and rewards, points, and a rewards shop. Dashboards and traceable processes help teams monitor referral activity and optimize the program. Employers can make brand content available centrally to share with relevant job offers. CleverConnect says the product integrates with more than 100 applicant tracking systems, including common ATS products and interfaces for niche systems. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. The product page describes automated consent management, GDPR compliance, and data storage on European servers. Personal data is stored in ISO 27001-certified data centers in the EU, though CleverConnect itself does not currently hold that certification. Pricing is available by requesting a personalized demo. The offering includes onboarding, ongoing consulting, English-speaking local support teams, and dedicated Customer Success Managers.
