Overview

Phenom, founded in 2010, builds a talent experience platform spanning candidate sourcing, personalized career-page recommendations, and predictive analytics on hire quality, aiming to unify external hiring and internal career mobility within one connected system rather than treating them as separate HR functions.

The company reached unicorn status in 2021 after 11 years of operation, backed by $169 million raised across seven rounds from investors including Sierra Ventures, and continued expanding its platform with a merger with Plum, a human capital and skills-intelligence company, completed in April 2026.

Enterprise pricing is quote-based around company size and modules needed, requiring a direct sales conversation rather than published self-serve rates. For a large enterprise that wants candidate sourcing, personalized career experiences, and internal mobility unified in one talent platform, Phenom's integrated approach addresses that directly.
