What Oplign does

Oplign is a private, Norfolk, Virginia-based employment intelligence company founded in 2017 by U.S. Special Operations Veterans. It operates a cloud-based platform, built on AWS infrastructure, that uses proprietary alignment algorithms to match candidate skills against employer demand in real-time. The system processes over 250 million job data points, maintains what the company describes as the largest labor syncing data warehouse, and offers specialized capabilities including Universal Translation Alignment of military occupational codes (MOS/NEC/AFSC/Rate) into civilian skills language, Cleared Candidate Sync for TS/SCI and Polygraph-credentialed candidates, and R2D (Relevancy to Demand) scoring for candidate prioritization. The product portfolio spans the core Oplign Platform, the NEX (Networked Employment Exchange) with twelve vertical sub-modules (Veteran, Cleared, Trades, Students, Alumni, VSO, Geo, HealthCare, Cyber, Industry, Greek Life, Course Pathways), the SBVA initiative for veteran-to-small-business matching, and the OPX product line.

The company sells to enterprise customers through a direct, field-sales motion anchored on "Request a Demo" CTAs, with custom multi-year subscription contracts and quote-based pricing. Named enterprise customers include Amazon, Verizon, USAA, Johnson & Johnson, General Motors, Navy Federal Credit Union, Amgen, Boeing, Wells Fargo, Nationwide, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nucor, CBRE, Werner Enterprises, and Phalanx Group International, across financial services, defense, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and logistics. Individual job seekers, veterans, students, and trades professionals access a self-serve portal at app.oplign.com with 60-second profile creation and social login (Google, Facebook, Amazon) under a product-led growth motion, and the platform integrates with Taleo, Brassring, and WorkDay ATS/ERP systems.

Oplign is structured as Oplign, LLC, operates from 500 E. Main St., Suite 1600, Norfolk, VA, and reports a headcount of 1-10. The only disclosed senior leader is Jeff Gibson (COO). The company has reported a single funding event of $254,579 in March 2025 with undisclosed investors; no institutional investors, parent company, M&A, regulatory actions, or restructurings are documented.

Core offering

Oplign provides a real-time, skills-based employment platform that automatically aligns candidate skills with employer job requirements. Its proprietary Universal Translation Alignment engine converts job descriptions and military occupational codes (MOS/NEC/AFSC/Rate) into structured, comparable data. The platform processes 250M+ jobs in its data warehouse, delivers R2D (Relevancy to Demand) scoring, and serves both enterprise employers (via SaaS subscription) and individual job seekers (via free self-serve signup).

Product overview

Oplign is a unified employment intelligence platform centered on real-time, skills-based candidate-to-job alignment. The core Oplign Platform serves as the central hub, while the NEX (Networked Employment Exchange) serves as the primary enterprise-facing module powering real-time labor valuation between supply and demand sets. The SBVA (Small Business Veteran America) sub-brand focuses on veteran-to-small-business employment matching. Beneath NEX, there are multiple vertical sub-modules including NEX Veteran, NEX Cleared, NEX Trades, NEX Students, NEX Alumni (Beta), NEX VSO, NEX Geo, NEX HealthCare, NEX Cyber, NEX Industry, NEX Greek Life, and NEX Course Pathways — each targeting a specific workforce segment or industry. OPX is referenced as a separate product line in footer navigation but details are not available. The Candidate Alignment Suite provides the underlying segmentation, valuation, and engagement tools for employer clients.
