LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#HRTech—Phenom has been named a Strategic Leader in the 2024 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition for the fourth consecutive year, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of its solution and its ability to innovate, drive business impact, and support with customer adoption and satisfaction compared to alternative talent acquisition software solutions.
