Phenom

Phenom is an enterprise-focused, AI-powered Intelligent Talent Experience platform designed to help organizations hire faster, develop better, and retain longer. It targets HR and talent teams that need to deliver consistent, personalized experiences across the full talent lifecycle, while connecting to existing HR systems and data sources. On the talent acquisition side, Phenom positions its platform to support high-volume and enterprise recruiting with automation and AI-assisted workflows. The website highlights capabilities such as High-Volume Hiring, Career Site experiences, a Talent Marketplace, and a Chatbot, alongside Talent CRM, Campaigns, and SMS & 1:1 Messaging modules. It also promotes "AI Agents for HR," intended to automate and augment manual processes for different stakeholder roles and use cases, and emphasizes platform-scale orchestration across HR systems. Phenom's content also describes a generative AI layer (Phenom X+) used to automate recruiting tasks such as generating job descriptions, personalizing and writing outreach via email/SMS/WhatsApp, supporting natural-language candidate search, scheduling interviews using natural language, and producing interview guides and summaries. The platform includes Phenom Hiring Intelligence with fit scoring for candidate matching, personalized job recommendations, conversational AI chatbots for screening, and predictive analytics for employee flight risk. Founded in 2011 in Ambler, Pennsylvania by Mahe Bayireddi, Hari Bayireddy, and Brad Goldoor (formerly Phenom People), the company raised $169.4M in venture funding including a $100M Series D in April 2021 led by B Capital Group at a $1.3B valuation. In January 2026, Phenom acquired Included AI, a people analytics firm, to enhance its agentic analytics capabilities. The company serves 700+ global brands including Fortune 500 companies with 1,500-2,000 employees. Beyond recruiting, the platform extends into talent management themes such as workforce intelligence, skills gaps, succession planning signals, employee retention insights, and internal mobility. Phenom is best suited for mid-market and large enterprises that want a consolidated platform rather than point solutions, especially those managing high applicant volumes, multiple business units, or global hiring. The website indicates a global footprint with multiple international offices and extensive integration capabilities. Phenom publishes security and compliance resources indicating SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance, and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. The platform offers verified integrations with major HCM/ATS systems including certified partnerships with Workday and SAP SuccessFactors. Pricing is presented as sales-led/custom, with prospects directed to request pricing/RFP information and book demos. Overall, Phenom markets itself as a comprehensive applied-AI HR platform that unifies experiences for candidates, recruiters, managers, HR leaders, and HRIT teams, with an emphasis on automation, personalization at scale, and integrations to create a broader HR ecosystem.
