About Tom Koelzer

In my free time, I enjoy time with family and friends, I'm always looking for a new spot to travel or a new brewery to check out. I'm passionate for live music and outdoor activities like snowboarding, backpacking and hiking. At Bluecrew, I work with organizations to improve upon outdated hiring processes. Powered by EmployBridge, a leader in the staffing industry, Bluecrew combines technology with the resources of a large organization to provide the best end UX experience for hiring managers and workers alike. At Upwork, I helped leaders connect with contingent talent. By skill-sourcing through Upwork, organizations are able to focus on getting work done, instead of hiring. Representing a network of over 10 million contractors specializing in 10,000+ skill sets, I work directly with PE/VC backed organizations to accelerate GTM strategy through access to talent, reducing costs and time to fill roles.At Yelp, I worked with small business owners across many different verticals (restaurants, home services, health & beauty, professional services, etc) access new clientele by leveraging technology. Assisting SMB business owners through digital transformation was incredibly helpful for my personal development, and very rewarding to be able to aid so many businesses across the US and Canada.
