Expanding Our Business Domains, We Rebrand as “HALF TIME”

Effective March 2, 2020 (Mon.), Beyond Global Recruitment Inc. has officially changed its company name to HALF TIME Inc. This rebranding reflects our expansion beyond our original focus on recruitment to a broader range of sports-related services. Going forward, we will continue to pursue our mission: “Through sports, we create new value for organizations and individuals worldwide, and realize a society filled with purpose and fulfillment.”

Since launching our services in July 2019, HALF TIME has been operating the specialized sports business media platform HALF TIME Magazine, while also providing corporate services in sports recruitment, PR & branding support, and partnership development.

In 2019, alongside our service launch, we held the first HALF TIME Conference under the theme “The Current State and Future Potential of the Sports Business in Asia and Japan,” attracting over 170 professionals and enthusiasts from across the sports industry. In September, we introduced the “Story” function on our website, enabling corporate users to freely share information. In December, we launched the “Side-Job Sponsorship Sales” project, connecting sports organizations with highly skilled external talent.

Also in December, we hosted the first HALF TIME Meetup, welcoming over 60 business professionals to discuss the theme “Rethinking Careers in Sports: Job Change, Side Jobs, and Diverse Ways of Engagement.” In February 2020, we partnered with CAMPFIRE to launch a crowdfunding service utilizing sports content, and in April we will host the second HALF TIME Conference 2020.

By enabling more people and organizations to engage with sports and harness the power of sports content, HALF TIME strives to energize society and create a more vibrant future. We will continue to grow as a leading sports business platform that maximizes the value of sports.
