Connected Talent Solutions from Match2 Is Now Available on SAP Store
Match2, the platform powering the Universal Candidate Profile™, has announced that its Connected Talent Solutions™ is now available on SAP® Store, the online marketplace for SAP and partner offerings. The integration connects with SAP SmartRecruiters Solutions and SAP Talent Solutions to deliver a portable candidate profile, AI-powered matching, and persistent candidate connectivity — turning career site traffic into living, opted-in talent networks.
The move brings Match2's Universal Candidate Profile™, Direct Talent Network™ (DTN), and Talent Connector™ platform into the SAP Talent ecosystem. It targets a structural gap in enterprise recruiting: employers only see what a candidate enters into their own system, and candidates still have to visit every employer separately and start from scratch each time.
"Employers don't need more applicants, they need a better way to turn candidate attention into relationships. Candidates still start over at every employer, the same way consumers once called every restaurant one at a time before reservation apps. Match2 ends that."
— Doug Berg, Founder & Chief Matcher, Match2How the Connected Talent Network Works
Match2's Connect With™ model is built for the full arc of the talent relationship rather than a one-time application, and it operates across three stages. In the first, Connect and Personalize, candidates create a Universal Candidate Profile on the employer's career site, sharing skills, shift availability, location, and work preferences — even verifying credentials before applying — and immediately receive AI-powered job recommendations across every connected employer.
In the second stage, candidates stay connected and visible, tracking real-time application status across all employers in their Match2 network from a single portal while employers receive ongoing availability signals. The third stage builds a living talent network: candidates maintain one living resume that updates simultaneously across all connected employers, and employers build a private Direct Talent Network that keeps candidate data current without chasing, campaigning, or repurchasing talent from outside sources.
"Most companies already have enough traffic. Too much of it disappears before recruiters can use it. This integration helps employers capture that investment — making career sites more personalized, talent connections more alive, and candidate data more useful inside the systems they already run."
— Elaine Orler, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer, Match2What Employers and Candidates Gain
For employers, Match2 upgrades the personalization, recommendations, and pre-apply qualification of any existing career site with no need to re-platform. It creates a private, consent-based community of opted-in, verified candidates connected to a specific employer brand — no shared pools, no competing employers, no third-party algorithms. The company says interactive applications capture five times more qualified candidates, while cross-market intelligence lets employers benchmark their process against competitors and learn why they win or lose talent.
For candidates, the Universal Candidate Profile travels with them, eliminating the need for new accounts or re-entering information with each application. It doubles as a personal career portal for managing employer relationships, tracking status, and maintaining a living resume. Match2 is free for candidates and promoted on career sites as a personal utility — much like reservation apps appear on restaurant websites. The solution is available now through SAP Store, where Match2 participates as a partner in the SAP PartnerEdge® program.
Now on SAP Store. Match2's Connected Talent Solutions integrates with SAP SmartRecruiters Solutions and SAP Talent Solutions, bringing a portable profile, AI matching, and persistent connectivity into the SAP Talent ecosystem.
Portable candidate identity. The Universal Candidate Profile travels with the job seeker, ending the cycle of starting over at every employer and creating a single living resume across connected employers.
Career sites become two-way. Instead of one-time capture forms, employers gain a private, consent-based Direct Talent Network of verified, opted-in candidates signaling status and intent.
Higher-quality pipelines. Interactive applications reportedly capture five times more qualified candidates, while cross-market intelligence helps employers benchmark and understand why they win or lose talent.
Free for candidates. Positioned as a personal career utility similar to reservation apps, Match2 fuels agentic hiring by feeding recruiting workflows current, consented data rather than stale records.
