the word

Loved by HR Pros Everywhere

About to wrap up the third day of the “IAMPHENOM” conference where we attended some inspiring sessions that, among other things, explored the intersection of skill management, AI in HR, and building a future-ready workforce. AI's potential to automate and augment tasks and analyze skill gaps is undeniable. It was interesting to hear other companies discuss how they're using AI to identify upskilling opportunities and personalize development paths for their employees. This clearly aligns with our own goals of fostering a learning culture and a more agile and adaptable workforce.

Ai in the talent space isn’t just coming….it’s here! With augmented ai, recruiters can work on the things they do best, creating wonderful experiences for candidates and not get bogged down with repetitive tedious task driven work. After spending the week at IAMPHENOM in Philadelphia, I have a renewed energy and drive to bring even more WOW experiences to our candidates, recruiters and hiring leaders. Thank you Phenom for a great week of learning with, listening to and engaging your clients.

Another phenomenal year at #IAMPHENOM in Philadelphia, and I once again left with a sense of excitement around what is coming for the future of HR and talent acquisition.

The conference itself is an amazing way to get into contact with people who are speaking your language, having the same problems, and then exchanging about how to solve those problems. You can literally just connect with people and talk it through face to face, and that's worth its weight in gold.

What a week! Our team flew out to Philadelphia for the IAMPHENOM Conference, and we had the chance to present on how we are utilizing Phenom to improve the candidate and recruiter experience at United. We connected with other professionals to learn about their experience as well, and to top it all off, we got to celebrate with an 80s cover band party at the Reading Terminal Market!
