Phenom announced it is the highest-designated Leader in the Candidate Engagement and Experience Platforms PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025. The company is also designated a Star Performer for delivering top-quartile improvements across key market success and capability advancement measures over the past year.

“Phenom demonstrates strong capabilities in AI-driven candidate engagement and recruitment automation, with exceptional client adoption and outcomes,” said Sharath Hari N, Vice President at Everest Group. “It has scored high across all key criteria – from sophisticated AI innovation and adaptable implementation to tangible business impact and comprehensive client enablement – while providing the industry-specific intelligence, role-based customization, and compliance expertise that complex enterprises demand. Its investments in X+ agents and vertical-specific solutions are commendable and have enabled it to be positioned as a Leader and a Star Performer in the Candidate Engagement and Experience Platforms PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025.”

According to Everest Group, candidate engagement and experience platforms are rapidly growing due to shifting workforce dynamics, including the demand for agile talent solutions, personalization, and data-driven decision-making. These providers are reshaping how organizations approach recruitment by leveraging AI and automation to build robust talent pipelines while focusing on seamlessly integrating people, processes, and technologies.

The PEAK Matrix® Assessment provides an objective, data-driven evaluation of technology providers’ overall capability across eight dimensions: market adoption, portfolio mix, value delivered, vision and strategy, technology capability, flexibility and ease of deployment, engagement and commercial model, and support.

Phenom held a leadership position in last year’s assessment, but in 2025, continued expanding its AI capabilities to help enterprises hire faster and more effectively with 25 dedicated AI Agents and 120+ generative AI use cases across the talent lifecycle. These innovations streamline critical workflows, including widely adopted solutions such as no-code automation that enables recruiters to scale high-volume hiring, and Phenom Voice Screening Agent, which uses conversational voice AI and intelligent phone and video screening to accelerate candidate engagement and reduce time to hire.

Beyond operational efficiency, Phenom enhanced the end-to-end candidate experience. Adobe Express integration enables organizations to create compelling, on-brand content at scale across career sites and engagement channels, while modernized onboarding delivers a seamless transition from candidate to employee. Deeper industry intelligence brings tailored personalization to healthcare, retail, manufacturing, financial services, and a variety of other industries. With built-in guardrails, fraud detection, and the industry’s only AI bootcamp and hands-on Path to Value workshops, Phenom gives talent acquisition teams the confidence to scale AI responsibly.

“Candidates don’t just expect personalized, frictionless hiring experiences, they demand them across every channel and touchpoint,” said John Deal, Sr. Director, Product Marketing at Phenom. “Phenom’s Applied AI delivers on that expectation by combining deep industry and role-specific context with practical implementation support, helping organizations create compelling candidate experiences that drive both engagement and results, regardless of where they are in their AI journey.”
