Phenom Releases State of Hiring Automation 2026 Benchmark Report

New research with Aptitude Research analyzes hiring workflows from application to submission

Phenom released its State of Hiring Automation 2026 Benchmark Report on May 6, 2026, produced in partnership with Aptitude Research. The study examines the hiring workflow from the moment a candidate clicks apply through to a completed application, and looks at where automation helps or hinders the candidate experience.

The report argues that context, rather than automation on its own, determines results, and points to Phenom approach for tailoring AI to the requirements of each role, function and geography while keeping recruiters in the loop. The findings add to a growing body of research on how enterprises are deploying AI across talent acquisition in 2026.
