Rebuilding the Candidate Experience with Empathy and Tech: Elaine Orler on Match2
Oct 24, 2025
Everyone talks about fixing the candidate experience.
Elaine Orler’s actually doing it.
On this episode of the ERE Recruiting Innovation Podcast, I sat down with Elaine Orler, Co-Founder at Match2, and one of the most respected voices in recruiting transformation.
Elaine has spent over two decades improving the way people hire from launching consulting practices to building tools that reduce bias and improve transparency.
Now with Match2, she’s helping candidates take back control of the job search.
๐ก We covered:
-
How Match2 empowers job seekers to manage their search like recruiters manage pipelines
-
Why transparency and engagement are the real missing pieces in candidate experience
-
What tools recruiters can use to reduce noise and unqualified applicants
-
How empathy and technology together solve the dreaded "black hole" problem
Elaine’s story is a clear reminder:
Recruiting innovation isn’t just about AI or automation.
It’s about treating every application, every click, and every rejection as a real life decision, because that’s what it is for candidates.
