Proactive Sourcing is a key feature of CleverConnect Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) to facilitate profile import from business platforms and team sourcing.
The CleverConnect platform is a living recruitment ecosystem that is very sustainable for us: a lead that is not hired immediately can be a hire in the future. We needed a system that adapts to our very special needs: a combination of automations, referrals as well as nurturing functionalities and a central CRM to store all our profiles from various sourcing channels as well as matching to quickly find the best candidates in our growing talent pools.

One of the reasons we decided on CleverConnect was the high standards of data protection conformity and IT security. We didn’t have to make any compromises or even any modifications. CleverConnect supports us with automation so that we can operate in compliance with GDPR without having to give it much thought.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Here are some of the most common questions about proactive sourcing:
A browser extension is a small piece of software that is installed directly into a web browser. It adds functionality to the browser that enhances the user experience and makes certain tasks easier. For example, the CleverConnect Active Sourcing Browser Extension allows you to import candidate profiles directly from business networks into CleverConnect Talent Pools without leaving the current browser window.
What do I need to use the CleverConnect Active Sourcing Browser Extension?
To use the CleverConnect Active Sourcing Browser Extension, you need the following: ‍ . Browser compatibility: The CleverConnect Browser Extension is designed to work with Google Chrome. ‍ . CleverConnect account: You must be logged into your CleverConnect CRM account. ‍ . Internet connection: A stable internet connection is required for real-time database queries and sourcing actions.
Why is it better to use the CleverConnect browser extension than, for example, the LinkedIn Recruiter?
The CleverConnect Browser Extension offers several advantages over LinkedIn Recruiter: ‍ . Integration with your ATS: CleverConnect seamlessly integrates with your existing ATS, simplifying the recruiting process and enabling automated data synchronisation. ‍ . Data control: All data is stored in a centralised system and remains under your control, while LinkedIn Recruiter manages the data on LinkedIn. ‍ . Multi-channel sourcing: The browser extension allows you to source candidates from multiple platforms, not just LinkedIn. ‍ . Save time: Automations, such as sending candidate data to your talent pool, save time and reduce manual tasks. ‍ . GDPR compliance: CleverConnect facilitates compliance with European data protection regulations, which is not always guaranteed with external (American) platforms such as LinkedIn.
Can I combine the CleverConnect Browser Extension with recruiter accounts on business networks such as LinkedIn, Xing, etc.?
No, it's not possible - and it's not necessary. The CleverConnect Browser Extension is an alternative to paid recruiter accounts on business networks and therefore also helps to save budget with a solution that can cover far more recruiting channels and is seamlessly integrated with the ATS.
