CleverConnect Group:
our history
The CleverConnect Group is the result of the creation & merger of several major players in the recruitment industry in France and Germany
2010

Marko Vujasinovic founded one of the first French Job Boards to help recruiters find qualified candidates and candidates find their ideal job. He was quickly joined by Anne Perrin.

Carl Hoffmann founded Talentry in Germany to support companies' candidate relationship strategy with Referral & CRM (Candidate Relationship Management) solutions.
2014

2018

Visiotalent and Meteojob are joining forces to create a Talent Acquisition software suite.
In 2018, they officially founded CleverConnect as an umbrage brand for all their solutions.
2021
CleverConnect raises €30 million (Series B)
With the aim of becoming the European leader in Talent Acquisition, CleverConnect has finalised a €30 million fund-raising round with its historic investors, Citizen Capital and Sofiouest, but mainly supported by Digital Plus Partners (Germany).
2022
Merger of CleverConnect & Talentry
CleverConnect and Talentry are joining forces to make the concept of CRM (candidate relationship management) the core of recruitment tools and create the first Franco-German champion of Talent Acquisition.
Visiotalent and Talentry are no longer brand names. Their solutions become modules of the CleverConnect Global Platform: Pre-Recorded Video Interview, Referral and CRM. Same thing with the Career Site Solution (CMS).
"I have seen CleverConnect as an extremely innovative scale-up with great potential, especially since the merger with Talentry in 2022. CleverConnect's Platform is precisely the building block that is still missing in many HR IT landscapes today, because many HR organizations are only just beginning to develop the right mindset for proactive Talent Acquisition."
