The story

Originally founded in 2007 as Meteojob, a French jobboard, CleverConnect evolved into a broader talent acquisition SaaS platform absorbing Visiotalent (video interviewing) and, in 2022, merging with Germany's Talentry (talent relationship management). The company now positions itself as the European champion for enterprise Talent Acquisition SaaS, with GDPR compliance and AI-driven candidate matching as its differentiation.
