Phenom, an applied AI company that helps companies hire faster, develop better and retain longer, will host its Industry Week 2025 livestream July 28 – August 1. The five-day, SHRM-accredited program addresses the unique talent acquisition and management challenges facing six critical industries — retail, hospitality and travel, healthcare, financial services and manufacturing — through real-world use cases and proven progressive AI implementation strategies.
Designed to help companies replace ineffective one-size-fits-all approaches, the event explores actionable and scalable levels of intelligence and automation, from basic efficiency improvements to advanced AI agents that engage candidates around the clock.
Each day focuses on a specific industry, featuring leaders who have successfully navigated hiring and retention obstacles. Examples include a national retailer’s rapid seasonal hiring approach, a leading children’s hospital’s 24/7 staffing solutions, and a regional bank’s step-by-step automation journey that enhanced both efficiency and candidate experience.
Attendees can register for individual industry days or the complete series. All sessions will be available on demand following the live broadcasts (for registered participants). Participants will also receive SHRM continuing education credits.
Industry-Specific Programming Schedule:
- July 28: Retail – Using automations to quickly screen, schedule and move candidates from application to hire at scale while maintaining quality during peak hiring seasons
- July 29: Hospitality & Travel – Easily reaching mobile candidates with always-on voice agents while balancing high-volume recruitment with assessments that identify the soft skills necessary to maintain service excellence standards across locations
- July 30: Healthcare – Validating clinical expertise to ensure continuous qualified staffing while providing AI-powered career paths for personalized learning opportunities and development roadmaps
- July 31: Financial Services – Protecting hiring processes and reputation with AI-powered agentic fraud detection, plus accelerating hiring timelines while maintaining compliance through skills intelligence that maps critical competencies
- August 1: Manufacturing – Adapting recruitment for evolving skillsets and empowering local hiring managers to hire autonomously while maintaining quality standards
“Most companies want to use AI and automation in their hiring, but they don’t know where to start or what actually works for their situation,” said John Deal, Sr. Director, Product Marketing at Phenom. “We’ve seen organizations take different paths. Some double-down on basic automations. Others are already advancing with AI agents. What matters is finding the right level for where you are now and learning how others in your industry are successfully scaling this essential transformation.”
