Phenom CFO Davinder Athwal tells us that he has a personal connection to his company\u2019s mission. Near the beginning of our talk, he shares a touching story about his father, a highly skilled individual who struggled to find a job in the UK. This personal experience fuels his passion for Phenom\u2019s mission: to help a billion people to discover the right work. It\u2019s not just about finding a job; it\u2019s about finding the right job that matches skills with aspirations, as Athwal is eager to explain.

The Phenom platform is not just another job-matching site, he points out. Using pattern recognition technology to match candidates with jobs, Phenom\u2019s approach goes beyond what\u2019s written on a resume to recognize all of the essential skills needed for a particular job\u2014even those not listed on an application.

Athwal joined Phenom during a challenging time in the industry, one that led to a strategic moment when he had to make the decision to prepare the company for cash flow break-even\u2014a move that would turn out to be not only critical but also crucial for the company\u2019s future survival and growth.
