E33: FC Cincinnati - Matt Stocker
Matt Stocker is an industry-leading talent acquisition professional in the sports industry leading employee recruitment for one of the most exciting brands in the world.
Don't know a lot about FC Cincinnati? That's okay...outside of the sports business industry, many don't. But inside the walls of sports jobs we widely recognize "FCC" as a growing, exciting, and ground-breaking brand in the industry. FC Cincinnati is playing the role of "innovator" and "disruptor" inside of how teams operate as a people-driven business.
Matt tells a wonderfully detailed story of how he left the world of sales for the NHL's Florida Panthers to work in the department of employee endeavors. After 4 years of grueling and hard-core sales for the Southern-most hockey team in the NHL, Matt converted from the Panthers sales team to human resources.
This is a fairly rare transition in the industry and shows the beautiful story of somebody BREAKING INTO the industry, then finding their best use of their skills in another department.
In early 2021, Matt made the move over to FC Cincinnati to play a larger role in their talent acquisition efforts, hiring over 400+ people as the brand expanded.
