Interview: Candidate.Guru on Elevated Careers Acquisition

The guys have given eHarmony’s Elevated Careers a hard time from the first podcast. With the belief that candidate matching is more pixie dust and unicorns than real science and a commercially viable product, both Chad and Cheese couldn’t imagine anyone acquiring this turkey. That belief was only strengthened when Elevated Careers’ website went on pause for about 6 mos. Then came along Candidate.Guru, a site neither of the guys had ever heard of, to sweep the business out of the jaws of certain death. With an unquenchable desire to learn more, the boys invited Candidate.Guru cofounder Steve Carter on the podcast to explain the deal and learn more about this mysterious acquirer. It’s one of their most entertaining interviews, and no punches were pulled. Enjoy. And as usual, visit sponsors Sovren, Ratedly and Wonscore. They help us pay the bills.
