Open Field

About this app

Let me be honest — most job boards are basically glorified listings. Harrier: Open Field is the one that actually made me pause. It's a free search engine dedicated to marketing roles from manager up to CMO at US brands, pulled daily from company career pages and job boards (and notably, staffing-agency reposts get filtered out). What makes it worth writing about is the context layer: each role is tagged as a build role, a takeover (replacing a named agency), a channel owner, a top seat, or a senior seat — plus a 'why it opened now' signal. There are optional profile filters, email alerts (daily or weekly), and a Market Pulse dashboard showing tool and industry trends across postings. If you're a marketer who's tired of guessing what a job title actually means, this is genuinely refreshing. The catch: it's US-brand focused, which limits reach for international job seekers. For agencies, the parent Harrier platform flips the data into prospecting intel, but the candidate-facing searc...

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Open Field is a free, US-focused marketing job search engine that does one thing mainstream boards don't: it tells you what a role actually is. Every listing is tagged as a build role, a takeover, a channel owner, a top seat, or a senior seat, with a 'why it opened now' signal and staffing-agency reposts filtered out. The execution is above average for an indie job board — a clean serif-branded homepage, plain-English filters, a Market Pulse sidebar with tool and industry trends, and email alerts with a confirm-first double opt-in. The measured numbers back it up: 85/100 mobile Lighthouse performance, 97/100 accessibility, HTTPS and HSTS enforced. The gaps are equally clear: a 3.4s mobile LCP, six of twelve security headers, no SOC 2 or pen-test claim, no WCAG statement, and a US-only scope that caps the audience. It's a sharp, specific tool for a sharp, specific user — senior marketers who care what the title means.

Measure by measure

Usability

Search and four filters are visible with zero scrolling, role-type tags are written in plain English, and alerts offer Google or email with a confirm-first flow. Optional profile stays in-browser. Onboarding is genuinely fast.

Design

Polished serif wordmark, gold bird mark, and role cards that lead with 'What this means for you' instead of a bare title. Dense three-column layout and identical purple Apply buttons keep it from feeling truly refined.

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 85/100 and desktop 89/100, with CLS 0.014 and TBT 36ms — layout is stable and the main thread is quiet. The 3.4s mobile LCP is the one number dragging it down.

Security

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility audit scores 97/100 with a single failing check: insufficient color contrast. No WCAG statement or a11y page exists, and the product is English-only, but the automated baseline is strong.

Growth

A real, specific pain — vague marketing titles and agency reposts — met with a context layer (build/takeover/top-seat tags, 'why now') that LinkedIn and Wellfound don't offer. Free, US-only, manager-to-CMO niche caps the ceiling.

Improvement areas

Mobile LCP of 3.4s — preload hero assets and defer below-the-fold content.
Six of twelve security headers missing (no CSP, frame protection, Referrer-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options).
No WCAG statement or accessibility page, and one failing contrast audit; US-only, English-only scope.

Design & Usability

Open Field's homepage is a confident piece of work: a serif wordmark with a gold bird, a one-line value prop, and a search bar with four filters sitting above the fold with no scrolling required. The role cards are the real design decision — each one leads with 'What this means for you' and 'Good fit if' expanders, so a listing reads as context rather than a title and a logo. Role-type filters are written in plain English (build role, takeover, channel owner, top seat, senior seat), which is the kind of copy choice that makes a niche product feel considered. The costs are density and hierarchy: three card columns plus a Market Pulse sidebar crowd the fold, and the same purple Apply button repeats on every card with no visual distinction between primary and secondary actions. Alert setup appears mid-page with Google and email options but no obvious 'skip for now' path, which nudges browsers toward subscribing before they've decided.

Speed & Security

Speed is a mixed but mostly healthy picture. Lighthouse scores 85/100 on mobile and 89/100 on desktop, with a clean CLS of 0.014 and TBT of 36ms — the layout doesn't jump and the main thread stays quiet. The one soft spot is a 3.4s mobile LCP, which is slow enough to be felt on a first visit. Security is the weakest measured dimension: HTTPS and HSTS are enforced, SPF and DMARC are set, and the privacy policy is linked at signup, but the HTTP probe found no Content-Security-Policy, no frame protection, no X-Content-Type-Options, no Referrer-Policy, and no Permissions-Policy — six of twelve checklist points. There is no SOC 2, ISO, pen-test, or bug-bounty claim anywhere on the site. For a free job board handling email signups and optional profile data, that's not alarming, but it's clearly behind what a security-conscious peer would ship.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility is a genuine strength on the automated side: Lighthouse scores 97/100, with a single failing audit for insufficient background/foreground color contrast. There's no WCAG conformance statement, no accessibility page, and the product is English-only and US-focused, so the manual and international picture is thinner than the score suggests. Growth is the more interesting question. Open Field names a real, specific pain — marketing job titles are vague and staffing-agency reposts bury the actual brand-side roles — and answers it with a context layer (build/takeover/channel-owner/top-seat tags plus a 'why it opened now' signal) that LinkedIn Jobs and Wellfound simply don't offer. The Market Pulse dashboard adds a second reason to return. The limits are structural: it's free, US-brand-only, and scoped to manager-through-CMO, so the addressable market is a slice, not a category. The parent Harrier platform monetizes the same data for agency prospecting, which gives the free tier a plausible business behind it. Domain registered August 2025 — early, but the wedge is real.

Conclusion

If you're a US-based marketing manager or director who has ever opened a job listing and had no idea whether you'd be building a team or cleaning up after an agency, Open Field is worth a bookmark. The context layer is the product, and it's done well. If you're outside the US, or you need enterprise-grade compliance paperwork before you'll hand over an email, this isn't the tool yet. The honest verdict: a genuinely differentiated free tool with a real idea behind it, held back by a slow mobile first paint and a thin security posture — both fixable, neither fatal.

Suggestions for improvement

Cut the 3.4s mobile LCP — preload the hero font and image, and defer anything below the fold.
Add CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and frame protection; the probe found none of them.
Publish a short accessibility statement and fix the one failing contrast pair flagged by Lighthouse.
Give the alert form a visible 'skip for now' so browsers aren't funneled into a subscription.
