Phenom, an applied AI company helping organizations hire faster, develop better, and retain longer, will host its Industry Week 2025 livestream from July 28 to August 1. This five-day, SHRM-accredited program will address the unique talent acquisition and management challenges facing six critical industries — retail, hospitality & travel, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing — through real-world use cases and proven AI implementation strategies.

The event is designed to replace ineffective one-size-fits-all HR approaches with actionable, scalable intelligence and automation — ranging from basic process efficiency improvements to advanced AI agents that engage candidates around the clock.

Industry-Focused Insights

Each day will focus on a specific sector, highlighting leaders who have successfully navigated hiring and retention challenges. Case studies will include:

  • A national retailer’s rapid seasonal hiring approach
  • A leading children’s hospital’s 24/7 staffing solution
  • A regional bank’s automation journey improving efficiency and candidate experience

Attendees can register for individual days or the full series. All sessions will be available on demand for registered participants, and SHRM continuing education credits will be awarded.

Programming Schedule

  • July 28 – Retail: Using automations to screen, schedule, and hire at scale while maintaining quality during peak seasons.
  • July 29 – Hospitality & Travel: Engaging mobile candidates with always-on voice agents while balancing high-volume recruitment with soft-skill assessments.
  • July 30 – Healthcare: Validating clinical expertise for continuous qualified staffing and creating AI-powered personalized career paths.
  • July 31 – Financial Services: Protecting hiring processes with AI fraud detection and accelerating compliant hiring through skills intelligence mapping.
  • August 1 – Manufacturing: Adapting recruitment for evolving skillsets and empowering local hiring managers to maintain quality standards.

“Most companies want to use AI and automation in their hiring, but they don’t know where to start or what actually works for their situation,” said John Deal, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at Phenom. “Some double-down on basic automations. Others advance with AI agents. What matters is finding the right level for where you are now — and learning from others in your industry.”

Registration for Industry Week 2025 is now open, with options for single-day or full-series participation. All attendees will receive SHRM credits.

With Phenom, candidates find the right jobs faster, employees advance their skills, recruiters boost productivity, talent marketers engage efficiently, HR leaders optimize hiring and onboarding, managers build stronger teams, and HRIT integrates existing HR tech into a unified infrastructure.
