People at OpenlyHQ

We are building the future of work, networking, and information for the sports and sports tech industry. Most of my career is in the Workforce Solutions/Talent Acquisition space and for the last 2 years, I was at EY in a Markets & Business Development role. Before EY, I worked for a Marketing & Branding firm representing Professional Athletes. When I was looking to figure out what was next for me, I had a really hard time learning about organizations in sports beyond a very basic job description. I wanted to know about the culture, work-life balance, benefits & perks, and growth opportunities. Glassdoor was of no help and basically only had job reviews for sports teams from concession workers, parking lot attendants, and tour guides. Now more than ever, people want to know if the values of an organization align with theirs and we felt the sports industry was behind in this category. In addition to bringing more transparency to this industry, we saw a drastic shift in the talent market within the sports/sports tech space. These new "modern professionals" working in sports have skill sets that are relatively new to the industry and unfortunately, the one big job board in this space hasn't kept up with the times.
