Phenom has been distinguished as an AI and automation leader with proven live customer delivery and advanced roadmap maturity. The position sets Phenom’s AI and automation apart from many vendors still focused on hyperbole rather than tangible results, according to the Fosway AI Market Assessment for Talent Acquisition.

“Despite widespread claims of AI-enhanced functionality across talent acquisition vendors, only 27% of mapped AI features are actually live with customers,” said David Wilson, CEO of Fosway Group. “This significant gap between marketing promises and reality means buyers cannot rely on product roadmaps and must demand visibility and evidence. Those vendors with genuinely live AI capabilities not only possess a competitive advantage but can deliver critical differentiation for companies across employer branding, recruitment marketing, candidate engagement, filtering, assessment and onboarding.”

AI Built for Depth, Impact and Scalability

Phenom’s applied AI and automation is designed to meet the specific use cases, compliance requirements, and complexities of global organisations across industries. This integrated approach delivers deep functionality to address talent acquisition needs within the context of the organisation’s greater hiring goals.

Phenom’s proprietary AI and Automation Maturity Model framework provides guidance for AI implementation and adoption — enabling organisations to gradually move from light usage to fully integrated processes. This drives faster adoption, higher ROI and real-time alignment between hiring teams and business goals. Phenom’s AI-driven platform ensures that every feature works together seamlessly to accelerate hiring, improve decision-making and deliver better experiences throughout the talent lifecycle.

• A global tech leader reduced offer acceptance to onboarding time by 50% using personalised automation based on location, role, and work level

“Phenom’s focus has always been on practical AI applications that solve immediate talent challenges,” said Mahe Bayireddi, CEO and co-founder of Phenom. “While others are making promises they can’t keep, we’re helping global enterprises reimagine their AI strategy and adoption with proven technology that’s already deployed and driving measurable results.”
