Award winners were announced onsite during IAMPHENOM, the human resources conference for talent acquisition, talent management, CHROs, HRIS and executives taking place in-person April 23-25 in Philadelphia. The winners are Phenom customers and partners across industries, including Retail, Transportation, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Technology, and Insurance, among others.

Organizations achieving phenomenal results by leveraging the Phenom platform to successfully reach their hiring and retention goals include:

• Land O'Lakes, Inc. - Best of the Best
  Land O'Lakes successfully tackled key challenges in 2023, including saving thousands of manual hours, increasing recruiter efficiency, improving career site personalization, and enhancing the candidate experience for interns and hourly hires.

The reduction of human hours spent on recruiting by implementing technology-based pre-screening and interview scheduling has been invaluable. Hourly recruiters now receive interview notes within seconds, where historically it would take an hour or more.
