#97- Fixing the Candidate Black Hole: Elaine Orler on Building Match2 and Redefining Career Search Tools
SUMMARY
Elaine Orler didn’t plan on disrupting the candidate experience. She lived it. With roots in early childhood education, she transitioned into recruiting at Qualcomm before launching a consulting firm and co-founding the Candidate Experience Awards. In 2023, she took a bold leap again, joining forces with Doug to tackle one of the industry’s biggest pain points: the candidate black hole.
In this episode, Elaine shares the origin story of Match 2, a platform designed to empower candidates with ATS-style tools while helping employers surface better-qualified applicants. Instead of relying on vague job boards and outdated resumes, Match 2 uses intelligent matching to serve candidates the right roles and helps recruiters cut through the noise. It’s candidate experience, reimagined.
Elaine and Clark also preview what to expect at this year’s ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit, where Match 2 is a featured Silver Sponsor. From real-time resume data feeds to deeper CRM integration and personalized job matches, this conversation is a masterclass in how thoughtful tech is making hiring more human.
