Government hiring runs 100-120 days on average, while private sector competitors move in 30-45. Phenom is FedRAMP Ready applied AI built to expedite hiring for government agencies and public higher education without compromising compliance.
Nearly a third of the federal workforce is retirement-eligible within five years, and agencies need to fill roughly 500,000 positions a year. Every one of those gaps is a service citizens don't get: a disaster response one person short, a benefits claim stuck in queue, or a cybersecurity post nobody's watching.
Phenom is FedRAMP Ready, built with Section 508 accessibility and government security standards from the start. It layers on top of existing systems of record instead of replacing them. Automated screening, scheduling, and matching cut time to hire, and every recommendation stays visible to a human reviewer, not a black box.
Explore by sector
Federal hiring runs through OPM authorities and security clearances. State and local agencies balance civil service rules with local budget cycles. Public universities compete for faculty, staff, and student workers all at once. Phenom adapts to each environment without requiring agencies to change established processes.
FedRAMP Ready AI that keeps up with the varying requirements of federal role compliance, tracking clearance stages and veteran preference automatically.
One platform flexes to each jurisdiction's workflow, so a county agency and a state department don't need separate systems to stay compliant.
The experience and automation nuances of spring faculty searches differ from fall student worker hiring, and Phenom adapts to both.
AI built for the public sector workforce.
From first job view to final offer to internal promotion years later, Phenom applies the same AI across the entire employee lifecycle, tuned to security clearances, accessibility mandates, and procurement realities agencies operate under, not bolted on as compliance afterthoughts.
Automated screening and scheduling cut time out of a hiring cycle that otherwise stretches past 100 days. Background checks, clearance stages, and merit-based evaluation still happen at every step, they just don't sit in a queue waiting for a person to move them forward.
With nearly a third of the federal workforce retirement-eligible within five years, agencies need to see who could step into a critical role before the person holding it leaves. Phenom surfaces internal candidates against upcoming vacancies, so succession isn't a scramble that starts the week someone announces they're retiring.
Government agencies can't always match private sector pay, but they can make the case for meaningful work clearly and accessibly. Section 508 compliant career sites and personalized content highlight an agency's actual mission, not a generic template, reaching candidates who might not have considered public service otherwise.
A hiring manager, an HRBP, and a security reviewer all work from the same platform, built for the standards agencies already answer to, not adapted to them after the fact.
Phenom's Ontologies track veteran preference, clearance stage, and merit-based evaluation criteria alongside skills and experience, so a federal hiring mandate is built into how a candidate is evaluated, not a manual check layered on after.
No rip and replace. Phenom plugs into the ATS, HRIS, and scheduling systems your agency already runs, and your system of record stays exactly that.
Phenom is FedRAMP Ready, SOC 2 Type II certified, and GDPR and CCPA compliant, with AES-256 encryption and annual penetration testing. Every AI recommendation shows its reasoning, and bias audits and adverse impact analytics stand up to agency review.
