AI Infrastructure
Phenom's Ontologies hold the same depth of skills data for a machinist as for a chief risk officer, so a niche role doesn't get a shallower search just because the market for it is small.
Source specialized talent.
A director of nursing. A CNC machinist. A chief risk officer. The people who can do this work are rare, and rarely looking. Phenom Hiring Automation for niche roles finds them, proves the fit, and gets them to an offer first.
The role has been open for months and the pool is empty.
The posting has run dry. Everyone qualified has been called. The team absorbs the work, the project slips a quarter. Month six, a requirement changes and it starts over. The role goes outside to an RPO, because agency money clears faster than software money. AI, agents, and automation give the team you already have a hiring flow that never goes cold.
Hiring automation built to recruit forty, not forty thousand.
Find the people who aren’t looking
The strongest candidate for a specialized role is rarely actively applying. You define the criteria, and automation does the search and outreach. Automation runs the search through X+ Source, builds the pool inside a project, and sends each invitation to apply before a competitor calls
Already in your system Past applicants and silver medalists surface before the open market
Invite, don't wait Profiles become applicants with one invite
Skills trump titles Surface people who have done the job under a different name
Prove fit before the interview
Generic screening treats a plant manager like every other applicant, missing what the role truly demands. FitScore ranks each candidate against criteria built for that specific role: location, experience, and skills. Deeper screening only takes over when fit is borderline
Role-specific criteria Judged on what the role actually requires, not a generic template
Text, voice, or video X+ Screening goes deeper via the channel best fit for the role
Near-fits stay close Near-fit candidates stay reachable in your talent community
Booked in minutes, decided on evidence
A niche hire could be a licensed tech with three offers, or a director a committee must justify. Both land on calendars the moment scoring clears them. Every interview is captured and structured, so the decision, one manager's or five, is made on evidence, and in minutes
No scheduling limbo High-value candidates book the moment they qualify
Same bar, every round One guide and one scorecard across the whole panel
Disagreement surfaces early In the debrief, not after the offer stalls
Targets the roles where the market is measured in dozens
Skills data that goes just as deep whether the role is common or rare, integration with the HR systems already in place, and confidentiality for the searches that need it.

By the time a recruiter gets into the role and starts really recruiting, they already have a list of warm candidates ready to go.
We want them to be talking to candidates. We don’t want them building these lists and spending time in the CRM, I type that sentence in and boom, the search is run.
Bring us the role others can’t fill.

When a niche role sits open for months, many teams hand it to an agency or RPO. Phenom gives in-house recruiters the sourcing, screening and scheduling automation to keep a steady pipeline for hard-to-fill roles themselves. It's hiring automation built to recruit forty people, not forty thousand, for roles like director of nursing, CNC machinist, plant manager or chief risk officer.
Phenom X+ Source runs automated search and outreach to find people who aren't actively looking, and it builds talent pools before a role even opens. It also surfaces past applicants you already have and turns sourced profiles into applicants. Skills-based matching finds candidates whose experience fits the role even when their job title doesn't match.
Fit Score evaluates each candidate on the criteria that matter for that specific role, such as location, experience and skills, instead of a generic template. Candidates can then complete a short text, voice or video screening. Near-fit candidates stay in your talent community, so a strong runner-up for one role is ready for the next.
Qualified candidates book interviews against live calendars in minutes. Every interviewer works from the same guide and scorecard across each round, so decisions rest on evidence rather than impressions. Disagreements show up early in the debrief, before they slow down an offer.
Yes. For confidential searches, visibility is limited to the people you name. Phenom connects to your existing HR systems, so a sourced candidate and one already interviewing share a single record instead of living in two tools. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant, and protects data with AES-256 encryption.
Phenom customers have saved more than 10,000 hours through sourcing automation, found 865 hires that other searches missed and placed 35% of silver medalists in another role. At The Aspen Group, recruiters describe the search they need in plain language and "boom, the search is run," so they spend their time talking to candidates instead of building lists.
