L+R was brought in to design a digital platform that allowed employees to learn more about themselves, future opportunities within ELC, and develop more meaningful connection with their career journey.


Technology-Enabled Design
L+R delivered strategic and technical design, digital product development, and oversight for ELC's Career Matchmaker, a progressive web application that presented a fun and easy-to-use digital experience for ELC employees. With a series of swipe right or left interactions coupled with bespoke analysis and recommendation algorithms.

The ELC Career Matchmaker allowed each employee the ability to learn about themselves, connect to tailored online training, and discover future career possibilities at ELC. Individuals responded with positive feedback and increasingly engaged with the company's industry-first LinkedIn Learning course curriculum in a more structured and meaningful way.
