We are in the space of HR intelligence, automatically matching talent with Tech and Creative industry jobs. We use linguistics algorithms to identify patterns within the structure and phrasing of job posts and CVs, converting them into data points to match candidates to suitable jobs. In short, we do matching and recommending.
We employ science to solve the matching problem in HR.
We use machine learning, web mining, semantic search and things like NLP (Natural Language Processing) etc. Think of our algorithms as intelligent systems (smart robots with recruiter hats) that perceive their environment (they have developed an understanding of the space of IT recruiting, recruiting in general, the need and relevance of all IT skills), smart robots that take intelligent actions to find the best candidate/role match.
There is not one defined path in this space, we are literally adding to the science of HR intelligence.
Market: We are solving a real problem, with global relevance. The market wants this.
Timing: We believe the market is more than ready for this, matching is where the focus is in HR.
Product: We have real technology. And it works at scale. Scale is key.
Speed: We aim to move fast and are raising money this year in order to move faster.
Where are you based? How long will you stay there? – How goes life on the boat!?
We are based in Ranelagh. We are still all in one small room, waiting to move into a larger space, our very own little building – but yes, we have no broadband yet. Some days I think it will take this little to get us to pack up and move out of Ireland. I don't want that moment to happen, I am loyal to Ireland, but issues like these have incredibly negative impact. We are a tech startup. And have no internet. In the middle of Dublin City, a ''destination tech hub''.
We want to stay here to be honest. I've been based in here for the last 4 years with my previous company,brandalism.ie. We love Ranelagh (we all live rather close to here as well).
The boat was and is still great. I am there at least once a week, we are still part of that coworking space as well and will probably remain so for a while as we will most likely need space in London as well (we are looking to tap into UK investment).
We've been quietly working on this for the last 10-12 months, currently in beta and we would like to encourage anyone who is curious to sign up for testing. While our HQ is in Ireland, we aim to set up a branch in the UK by the end of the year.
If you know anyone hiring techies and creatives… would appreciate some insight: http://t.co/ujgPQN0ysm Much obliged.
It has to be the technology. We kept quiet on this as we didn't know if the algorithms would work, if we could achieve the levels of accuracy desired. Today, technology alone, we are on a par with the large tech companies tackling recruitment.
We have also managed to attract incredible talent, for which we are grateful. Good talent is gold in tech.
Our product is aimed at companies actively hiring tech. Opening.io follows a SAS model and aims to aid with both internal and external matching efforts. External: new hires, matching people with jobs; Internal: new projects, matching people with project roles; capacity management etc.
We have 5 people on the team, 4 full-time and a 5th person working remotely, on a contract basis, doing data science work (senior position). Opening.io has two co-founders, one technical and one biz dev.
Adrian is the Founder of Opening. He was heavily involved in the development processes of entities like Lufthansa, National Geographic, Magnum Photos, WWF and the Rational Group of companies (65%+ share of the global online poker market). He is deeply interested in software and hardware architecture, streamlining of user experience, data manipulation, optimisation of content delivery. Adrian founded a national multimedia festival, Dracula PC Party for 5 consecutive years, an event that gathered several thousands of participants in Romania. He is an avid fan of the SouthPark TV series, Survivor, snowboarding and a small Irish post-rock band, God is an Astronaut. Adrian is the winner of a National Programming Olympiad (1st place).
Andreea @brandalisms is the co-founder of Opening. She has a background in coding, design, journalism, events, advertising, marketing and product management. She is a connector of people, a key tech community member, founder of AskATon and StartupHiking, organiser of a number of Startup Weekends in Dublin and a member of the Women in Technology and Science (WITS) Ireland board. Andreea is a startup mentor, having mentored in all the major incubators and accelerators in Dublin. You will sometimes find her on a stage.
Roland @RolandAdorjani works in Data Science. His interests are around Applied Psycholinguistics in social media analysis, social network analysis, conversation analysis and cognitive ethnography and Dialogical Systems – dialogue development linguistics, dialogue architecture, Knowledge engineering – Semantics. He has done research in cognitive science labs and has worked on projects revolving around language technology. In his spare time he scraps large datasets of social media conversation data and works on developing novel analytic approaches to them. The remainder is used for running up mountain trails, reading, and roaming the cultural scenes of wherever he lives at the moment.
Noah is a programmer and tech enthusiast from the wilds of Co. Monaghan in Ireland. Always eager to learn new things, he has explored competitive programming, web development and games with equal zeal. When he's not typing code furiously, he explores his other interests in music, subpar films and languages. Noah is just back from Kazakhstan where he represented Ireland at the International Informatics Olympiad.
We are hacking skills fit but we intend to solve something rather intangible: cultural fit. We have spent a good bit of time talking to HR scientists, researching cultural fit within academia etc and we believe we have identified a path of putting metrics around fit indicators specific to this space.
We want to give back, thus using data to construct meaningful stories initially around Dublin, as a tech hub and then London and so on. We believe in Europe as a business enabler in the space of tech entrepreneurship and would like to add to the discourse thats emerging around this topic. Thus, meaningful data stories around talent and entrepreneurship are in our roadmap.
Our overall vision is to add value by clearing the noise within recruitment., globally We are an European SAS company aimed at enterprise, however, creating a talent bank is also on our radar.
It has nothing to do with our work in opening, but we have an extensive library on micro controllers and we used to play with sensors (back in the day, when we had time).
Anything to add / or we should have asked you?
"We are entering the era of unparalleled talent scarcity, which, if left unaddressed, will put a brake on economic growth around the world, and will fundamentally change the way we approach the workforce challenges''.
Linking good people with good people, talent with opportunities, at company, city, country and continent level is where our vision extends.


What makes each summer memorable is the music that accompanies every experience. Whistler offers various events during the summer, and the most talked-about ones are the music festivals that are happening around the area. Here's your guide to this summer's music festivals and events happening around Whistler.

Bob Calco presents LISP: The Ultimate Excel LAMBDA
On Tuesday, February 1, 2022, Apex's Chief Architect & Lead Developer, Bob Calco, presented as part of the London Clojurians' online series discussing Apex's vision of using LISP to turn document and desktop data silos commonly associated with MS Office products (especially Access and Excel documents, though not limited to these) into fully-interoperable, linked-data microservices.
Inspired in part by Microsoft's recent announcement of the new LAMBDA Excel function (see: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/lambda-the-ultimatae-excel-worksheet-function/), Apex had a broader vision to fully integrate a proper Lisp into the world's most popular spreadsheet application. The result proved powerful enough to incorporate into our platform for general data interoperability. The first technology offering is called AcceλerateTM which transforms document and desktop data silos commonly associated with MS Office products (especially Access and Excel documents, though not limited to these) into fully-interoperable, linked-data microservices. Our brief demo will place a special focus on the use of Scheme for bringing a whole new dimension to Excel's formula calculation capability. By leveraging the power of Lisp, AcceλerateTM empowers users to go well beyond what VBA can do in desktop database and spreadsheet applications like Access and Excel. We are also working on a distributed enterprise interoperability solution, called DomainMasterTM, which will be incorporating ClojureCLR as a language option as well. A sneak peek at that is also planned, time-permitting.
Bob Calco is Chief Architect and Lead Developer at Apex Data Solutions, LLC. A passionate Lisper, Bob is currently leading development of Apex's generalized data interoperability platform, Unify!, and related technologies. Apex Data Solutions is a pioneer in the health data interoperability space, an active member of the HIMSS Blockchain Taskforce, and deeply experienced at complex enterprise data federation. This experience is being generalized for use in healthcare, finance and other domains such as M&A, in the Unify! platform, and will be made available to early adopters in 2022.

Quote: 'All of my co-workers were playing on Google to see who had the most famous name. I said, "No way, my name is so weird. There are not very many people called Melly Shum." And one of the other people had a similar name to a serial killer in the USA, right? I said, "You will be the one." And then we found out that I had the most famous name of all' – Melly Shum, who was the subject of a Ken Lum photo while a University of Ottawa art student in 1989. That work, Melly Shum Hates Her Job, was the inspiration of the new name of Rotterdam's most important contemporary art centre, the Kunstinstituut Melly — the Melly Art Institute. [CBC]
