CleverConnect Employee Referrals helps employers recruit through employees’ networks, with the stated aim of reducing cost per hire. Staff can submit candidates from Android, iOS, or web, including deskless workers. Referrals may be connected to open vacancies or made speculatively, with unassigned recommendations routed to a separate talent pool. The program supports customizable automated emails and push notifications, configurable bonuses, points, rewards, and a rewards shop. Dashboards and traceable processes give HR teams referral activity to monitor and optimize, while centrally available employer-brand content can be shared with relevant jobs. CleverConnect says the product integrates with more than 100 applicant tracking systems, including common ATSs and interfaces for niche systems. It describes automated consent management, GDPR compliance, and EU data storage. Personal data is kept in ISO 27001-certified EU data centers, although CleverConnect itself does not currently hold that certification. Pricing is on request.
