Phenom has been named a Strategic Leader in the 2024 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition for the fourth consecutive year, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of its solution and its ability to innovate, drive business impact, and support with customer adoption and satisfaction compared to alternative talent acquisition software solutions. Fosway identifies Strategic Leaders as companies that provide a rich suite of capability across a broad scope of features and have the sophistication to consistently meet the needs of complex enterprise-scale customers. Strategic Leaders are also recognised by Fosway for having strong market performance and customer advocacy; as a result, they are frequently selected by such organisations and consistently meet their needs.

The European job market is undergoing a significant transformation. Challenges such as talent shortages and technological disruptions are actively shaping the dynamics of recruitment practices. To navigate this, talent acquisition leaders, sourcers, talent marketers, recruitment events managers, and recruiters must adopt a multifaceted approach that encompasses building alliances, appropriately leveraging and consolidating technology, personalising candidate engagement, maximising utilisation of artificial intelligence and automation, and embracing data insights.

“The TA industry faces many challenges due to a fragmented tech stack, and companies often struggle to streamline their recruitment processes and engage candidates effectively,” said David Wilson, CEO and founder of Fosway Group. “Phenom’s Intelligent Talent Experience platform aims to deliver an effective, data-driven, personalised enterprise solution to these issues. Their continued innovation and customer outcomes are reflected in their position as a Strategic Leader for a fourth successive year.”
