Fathom is building critical infrastructure for a skills-based labor market. Its Workforce Wallet enables job seekers to track and translate their knowledge, skills, and work experience into industry-aligned taxonomies and credentials, driving more personalized career navigation and job placement opportunities. Complementing the Wallet, the Workforce Dashboard equips workforce organizations with tools to view and validate worker activity, automate compliance reporting, and redirect over a third of staff’s time to service delivery for job seekers and employers. Together, they form the foundation of Fathom’s Workforce Operating System (WOS)—a transformative platform powered by talent recognition software. Fathom’s founding team has secured over $1M in local workforce contracts, are Techstars alumni, and are recipients of the National Science Foundation‘s I-Corps grant. The team also recently completed its first federal contract with the Department of Labor and NSF and is piloting its platform across ten counties in southwest Virginia.
