At Cluen, we've spent over three decades building Encore to be the leading executive search technology that powers the world's best search firms. Our philosophy has always been clear: give recruiters the tools to manage complex searches while maintaining the personal touch that defines executive search. That's why we're thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Noon.ai, the autonomous sourcing platform that's redefining how search professionals discover and engage talent.
While we've perfected the art of managing candidate relationships, search workflows, and client deliverables, Noon has cracked the code on something equally critical: teaching AI to source like your best recruiters do, then scaling that expertise infinitely.
By integrating Noon's intelligent sourcing directly into Encore, we're giving our users something powerful: an executive search platform that not only organizes their world but actively fills their pipeline with qualified candidates and potential BD targets, all while minimizing their workload.

Why Noon.ai Is Different
The recruiting tech landscape is flooded with AI tools making big promises. But Noon delivers something genuinely transformative. Here's what sets them apart:
AI That Learns How You Source
Noon doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all sourcing methodology. Instead, it watches how your recruiters actually work: the searches they run, the profiles they select, the candidates they advance, and learns to replicate that expertise. Every firm sources differently, and Noon adapts to match your unique approach, becoming an extension of your team rather than a tool to manage.
Quality That Hiring Managers Notice
Volume without quality is just noise. Noon consistently surfaces candidates that hiring managers actually want to meet. By learning from your team's decisions (who gets submitted, who gets interviews, who gets placed) Noon refines its understanding of what "qualified" means for each search. The result? Higher interview-to-submission ratios and happier clients.
Enterprise-Scale Processing
Whether you're filling one critical role or managing dozens of searches simultaneously, Noon handles the load. It can process thousands of profiles, send personalized outreach at scale, and manage response workflows, all without asking for additional recruiter bandwidth. What used to take teams weeks now happens continuously in the background.
Intelligence That Compounds Over Time
Every click, every decision, every outcome in your Encore system teaches Noon something new. Rejected a candidate? Noon learns why. Placed someone successfully? Noon understands what worked. This continuous feedback loop means your sourcing gets smarter every day, building institutional knowledge that stays with your firm.

What This Means for Encore Users
The integration between Encore and Noon transforms how recruiting teams operate:
The Future of Executive Search
The recruiting industry is at an inflection point. Clients expect faster delivery, candidates demand personalized experiences, and firms need to do more with less. Manual sourcing simply can't scale to meet these demands.
Encore provides the foundation (the workflows, compliance, and organizational structure) firms need. Noon adds the intelligence layer: autonomous sourcing that works 24/7 to keep your pipeline full of qualified, engaged candidates.
Together, we're not replacing search consultants; we're amplifying their impact. We're building a future where technology handles the repetitive work, data drives smarter decisions, and recruiters focus entirely on what humans do best: building relationships, understanding nuance, and making perfect matches.
Our partnership with Noon isn't just about adding another integration. It's about reimagining what's possible when the industry's most trusted executive search CRM meets truly intelligent automation.
Welcome to the future of executive search.
