Phenom Named Among First-Ever Strategic Leaders in Fosway’s 2021 9-Grid for Talent Acquisition

Surging Adoption of Talent Experience Reflects Phenom’s Growth and Commitment to Global Customers

Phenom, the No. 1 provider of Talent Experience Management solutions, has been recognized as a Strategic Leader in the 2021 Fosway 9-Grid for Talent Acquisition. Fosway identifies Strategic Leaders as companies that provide a rich suite of capabilities across a broad scope of features and have the sophistication to meet the needs of complex enterprise-scale customers. Additionally, these solutions achieve higher levels of customer impact and advocacy compared to alternatives in the market.

The Fosway Group 9-Grid™ report for Talent Acquisition indicates the relative position of solutions and providers in the European talent acquisition system space. Analyzing data from the pandemic-altered market, the 2021 report also indicates how well software solutions scaled and performed for customers during last year’s volatility.

  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Enterprises must leverage AI and automation in the hiring process to remain competitive.
  • DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION: Employers are realizing that diversity, equity and inclusion commitments must be a centerpiece in their HR strategies.
  • VIDEO EXPERIENCES: Live video’s role in hiring will last beyond the pandemic, as companies realize it will be an efficient, authentic way to find best-fit candidates.
  • INTERVIEW SCHEDULING: Chatbot and AI reduce friction across the scheduling process, generating more meaningful interactions between candidates and recruiters.
  • TALENT MARKETPLACE: The most effective solutions need to include gigs, reskilling and upskilling for mutual employer/employee growth.
  • COLLABORATIVE HIRING: Increasing communication between recruiter and hiring manager workflows is encouraged through integrations with Microsoft Teams and Slack.

“Phenom’s focus on disrupting the candidate and hiring experiences, has resonated strongly with the market,” said David Wilson, CEO of Fosway. “Rapid growth in adoption in enterprise organisations, as well as expanded physical presence and multiple market acquisitions is further accelerating its success in Europe and globally. All of these warrant Phenom’s increased rating as a Strategic Leader for Talent Acquisition in 2021.”

In 2020, the Phenom platform was adopted by 25,000 recruiters, talent marketers and hiring managers — helping them hire over 2 million people and engage over 3 million employees.

The Phenom platform automates administrative tasks and personalizes experiences, generating more impactful moments throughout the talent journey. As a result, candidates find the right job faster; employees learn and evolve; recruiters discover best-fit talent with efficiency and scale; and managers make stronger data-driven decisions to build their future teams.

Kuehne+Nagel, a global logistics company and Phenom customer, continues to see new value in the Phenom platform every day.

“Through Phenom, we’ve been able to strengthen our centralized recruitment activities per hemisphere, build an external career site and adapt it to local markets, implement a CRM — and now level up our employee experience — to build the most sophisticated talent acquisition ecosystem there is to offer,” said Sandra Aasma, global HR systems expert at Kuehne+Nagel.
