Our Story


Cluen has decades of recruitment database development and implementation experience spanning six continents. Cluen's solution, Encore, is used by executive search consultants, legal recruiters, in-house talent acquisition teams, government entities, universities, and venture capital/private equity firms all over the world.


Our technology helps organizations nurture important relationships, track historical data, and win new business. Encore is GDPR compliant, aggregates competitive insights, and works with any email program you choose.

Our Tech


We rebuilt our feature-rich platform into a modern, intuitive experience—so your team can get more done, faster. You keep the depth and power clients rely on, now delivered through a clean UI and streamlined UX. Because Encore is browser-based (no installs) and platform-independent, adoption is quick, training is minimal, and productivity ramps immediately.

Our updated Candidate Survey, powered by Searchlight®, helps you capture sharper, more consistent feedback—and turn it into confident, defensible decisions. Align stakeholders, reduce back-and-forth, and keep searches moving.
