Journeys of Empowerment✨ - Episode 33

From drivenness to depth: Alisher’s mission to rethink hiring with purpose

Could a billion-euro business problem be solved by asking better questions of ourselves first?

I had the pleasure of speaking with Alisher Jafarov, founder and CEO of Avery, a B2B SaaS company revolutionizing how companies hire. His journey of resilience, empowerment and transformation is a true testament to defying expectations and creating meaningful change.

In our conversation, we explored key challenges, turning points and the moments that reshaped his path to success.

What we explored:

👉🏾 The talent crisis in europe: how misaligned hiring is costing companies more than they think;

👉🏾 AI for good: using technology to match people, purpose and performance;

👉🏾 From corporate to startup life: why leaving a successful career can be a leap toward deeper impact;

👉🏾 Drivenness vs. presence: the tension between ambition and being fully in the moment;

👉🏾 A vision beyond business: building an island for great minds to change the world!

Nuggets of empowerment:

🙌🏾 “Purpose isn’t a luxury...it’s a compass when everything feels uncertain”

🙌🏾 “Being driven is powerful, but not if you forget to stop and breathe”

🙌🏾 “The future of hiring isn’t just faster, it’s more human!!”
