On to the news...
Phenom, the world’s most widely used AI-powered talent experience platform, today announced a $100 million Series D round. B Capital Group led the round, among other investors….The capital will let Phenom remain focused on fulfilling its purpose — to help a billion people find the right job - the company is now valued at 1.3 billion and one of their investors was quoted saying they will go public in the near future.
With new funding, Phenom continues to innovate its Talent Experience Management (TXM) platform for organizations adopting AI holistically in a post-COVID era. As a result, candidates find the right job faster; employees learn and evolve; recruiters discover best-fit talent with efficiency and scale; and managers make stronger data-driven decisions to build their future teams.
“At Phenom, we’ve always been a purpose-driven company, and that will never change,” said Mahe Bayireddi, CEO and co-founder of Phenom. “Since the beginning, we have rooted our platform in intelligence versus simply adding AI as a single tool or feature. This makes our AI dramatically different, and helps us cultivate a healthy talent ecosystem. Jobs are the foundation of thriving societies around the world. They provide livelihoods and help people reach their full potential. As organizations respond to a seismic shift in how they approach and manage talent, Phenom is scaling with conviction, so everyone has the resources to succeed in times of both volatility and stability.”
Congrats to the team at Phenom, they are one of only 15 companies in HR tech ever to receive a funding round of $100 million or more.
