New possibilities between “able to work” and “want to work.”
So much potential is still untapped. That’s why society can still change.
The experience, the skills and the drive are all there. Yet under today’s systems, many people still find it hard to work. We take on the barriers that stand between these people and society.
We widen the ways people can work and bring their strengths to where they are needed — building, through both technology and business, systems in which people can thrive. That is Phonim’s challenge.
Our business
Turning the will to change society into products.
Great matches between people and workplaces.
People who want to workWorkplaces in need
A platform connecting people and workplaces
Take the next step with a “trial shift.”
Working a real shift reveals the fit with a workplace that no job listing can show. By connecting healthcare professionals with medical institutions, CURA supports people taking their first step back into work or into a new job — and helps care providers secure the staff they need.
Business, design and engineering. A team that crosses the boundaries of expertise to take on society’s challenges.
