Questions to ask
Plans & billing
Can I run a pilot before choosing a paid plan?
Paid pilots run for one to three weeks, and up to 100% of the pilot fee can be credited toward an annual contract.
What payment methods are available?
Online checkout uses Stripe for the payment methods it makes available to your account and region. Contact the Clous team if your organization needs an invoice or bank transfer.
Are there hidden costs or variable charges?
Starter is 149€, Plus is 249€, Pro is 410€, and Scale is 730€ per HR Pro per month. AI usage is billed separately through AI Credits, and Employee Experience is 9€ per covered employee per month. Current AI usage terms appear during pricing and checkout; tailored proposals are available for custom needs.
Security & data
What data can I import into Clous?
Clous supports AI-assisted imports from PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and CSV files, including resumes, job descriptions, course catalogs, employee lists, and other exports. HRIS connections can provide one-time imports and inbound ongoing synchronization. ATS connections are limited to one-time migration into Clous. Other connections retrieve context, surface Clous, or perform specific supported actions.
Do you train your AI with our data?
Clous documents how customer data is processed and which providers support the service during security review. Data access follows company, role, user, document, and integration permissions; do not infer a broader provider-training guarantee from this page.
How does our software ensure data security privacy?
Clous supports encryption at rest and in transit, tenant isolation, role-based access control, SSO, SCIM, data-residency options, and permission-aware execution. Sources, messages, changes, confirmations, and approvals remain inspectable by authorized users.
Product capabilities
Can I meet the team?
Yes. Book intro to meet the team, show us the People workflow that is costing you time, and decide whether Clous is a practical fit.
What is hiring intelligence?
Hiring Intelligence connects role requirements, skills evidence, candidate context, interview coordination, and pipeline analysis in one system. Agents prepare recommendations and scheduling steps; recruiters and hiring managers review the evidence and make employment decisions.
How does Clous support hiring inside the HR operating system?
Clous gives hiring teams one place for role context, candidate evidence, shared documents, interview coordination, and offer preparation. Agents move the data work forward while recruiters and hiring managers make employment decisions.
Is our software compatible with existing tools you use?
Clous supports different connection roles. HRIS products can provide one-time imports and inbound synchronization; ATS products can provide one-time imports; other named tools may provide retrieval, an interaction surface, or specific supported actions. Check the integration catalog for the exact scope instead of assuming every connection is bidirectional.
What is Employee Experience in Clous?
Employee Experience AI (EX AI) is the experience layer inside Clous. It gives employees and candidates personalized guidance, profile and resume insights, growth plans, internal mobility paths, and opportunity recommendations while HR teams use Clous to coordinate hiring, skills, performance, learning, and workforce decisions. It is part of the platform, not a separately named assistant.
