As an HR consultancy, we are dedicated to our core subjects since our foundation: HR Digitization, Business Transformation and HR Strategy Consulting. Why? Because we recognize that an efficient workforce makes difference for every company in every phase. Where did we learn that? We have our origins in the field of corporate finance / M&A consulting and in the foundation of various successful startups in the digital world. In the projects, it was always the employees who made the decisive difference in success. In this respect, it was obvious for us to make a product out of our two experiences. At CLEVIS, we combine entrepreneurial HR consulting with the subjects of HR digitization and ensure an efficient workforce. What makes us special? We think of HR and HR processes like entrepreneurs. Our approaches consistently follow an entrepreneurial objective.

Put the right people in the right place, making sure that they know what to do and why it makes sense to do it. Ensure that the necessary know-how is available.
In other words, our approach to HR consulting is designed to ensure ideal recruiting, to develop real leadership as the basis of performance management and to guarantee future-proof learning.
We can definitely state that CLEVIS was not founded simply by following ready-made guidelines, but rather paved its own way.
But why are we telling you this?

1. Because we have learned again and again from our own experience how challenging developments and transformations are.

2. And because it shows what makes us special. Even in an environment that has changed significantly over time, we never lost sight of our values and stayed on course.

PARTNERSHIP AND RESPECTWe rely on real partnerships based on shared enthusiasm for subjects and ideas with our customers and our partners.
COMMITMENT TO SUCCESSWe never give up, neither in projects for our customers, nor in difficult market situations. You can rely on us even in rough climates.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYWe live this internally and externally. We care about ourselves and our team. You will also feel the cohesion that we cultivate. We are equally interested in our customers. For us, every collaboration is more than just handling a project.
POWERFUL AND PROFESSIONALWe have high standards for ourselves and want to perform every project really well. We have always received top marks from our customers over the years and we are incredibly proud of that.
INNOVATION AND GROWTHQuestioning the current topics and rethinking them, our slogan states: “Delivering Next Generation HR Today”. For us, innovation is never just an end in itself, but must promote and secure the growth of our customers.

2020 - 2021What started well turned out to be a year of decisions. At the beginning of 2020, we would have celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Future Talents Report in Berlin together with a large number of companies as part of the Future Talents Forum. COVID-19 was already in the media at the time, but nobody expected the extent of the changes to come. Like almost all industries, we looked to the future with concern at the end of March, only to then realize that Corona was forcing the digitization push that we believed was long overdue. This is how we managed to achieve a respectable annual result despite a more complicated Q2. As is so often the case, the company's DNA has shown itself in these uncertain times. In seemingly difficult times, we invested very actively in the future of our company and, in addition to the development of various repositionings, invested in the further development of the team, in business units and partnerships.

2018 – 2020CLEVIS grew up and established itself on the market. With a young, starving team, we set the course for future growth. To this end, the partners' internal functions were geared towards marketing and service delivery to the customer. The measures took effect quickly and lay the foundation for sustainable growth of the company in the years to come.

2016 – 2018The topics of digitization had then arrived with great urgency in medium-sized companies. CLEVIS managed to close the 250th customer project by the end of 2018, grew to a team of 30 employees and looked forward to many new and exciting challenges in the coming years.

2015SaaS was then no longer a fear, but a reality for HR. This was also changing the consulting business. Individualization of software based on your own HR processes was yesterday. Now it was about fast standard implementation. This change also affected CLEVIS. But the market was not only changing for us. A large number of companies were also struggling with the implications and restrictions of introducing SaaS. CLEVIS joined forces here and initiated the SF Community of Practice. The format had evolved by then and we were very happy to be able to discuss the further development of the respective HR Tech portfolio with so many like-minded people.

2015CLEVIS was restructuring. The circle of partners was minimized, the research division was sold and operational responsibility was handed over to the management team that still exists today.

2014CLEVIS took the first steps in the partnership with Haufe Talent Management (formerly umantis). We are happy to have entered into a long-term partnership with this innovative partner and are proud to be the exclusive implementation partner in Germany today and to had successfully completed over 150 joint projects.

2012Future Talents was much more than a marketing vehicle for us: we lived in this topic. Today's management is on board. The former interns have now become 3 of 5 CLEVIS partners, who have significantly shaped the development of the business over the years. To date, we are creating the largest study on the target group of future talents in the German region and we have become experts in developing and retaining this target group.

2012After concentrating on the interim business for two years, in 2012 the focus was placed in the field of consulting. Based on two DAX 30 accounts with various digitization projects, we decided to stand up for the slogan that is still valid today: “Delivering Next Generation HR Today”. The path beyond these two accounts was initially rockier than expected. At that time, topics related to talent management were still more of a "hobby", and getting into the topics via IT disqualified a consultant for technical discussions more than it helped.
