AI Day 2025: AI, Automation and Agents Redefine Hiring, Development and Retention

From AI Curious to AI Dominant: What HR Leaders Will Gain at Phenom's AI Day 2025

Phenom has announced the speaker lineup for AI Day 2025 - a virtual event on October 1 focused on practical AI for HR and IT. Expect proven playbooks from enterprises that have rolled out AI agents and automation across talent acquisition, workforce development, and retention. Less theory. More execution.

Why this matters for HR

AI is changing how teams hire, grow, and keep talent. Leaders will share the frameworks, ethics, and measurable outcomes that separate early experiments from scaled impact. "AI is the strategic differentiator reshaping how organizations hire, develop and retain talent today - and AI Day speakers bring proven insights from the forefront of HR transformation," said Kumar Ananthanarayana, VP, Product Management at Phenom.

What you'll learn

• Talent acquisition: Personalized candidate experiences, intelligent screening, and predictive hiring models that reduce time-to-fill.
• Workforce development: Skills architectures, internal mobility, and role-to-skill mapping that inform upskilling at scale.
• Retention: Risk signals, manager workflows, and interventions that drive longer employee tenure.
• AI agents in HR: Voice and digital agents for scheduling, FAQs, requisition support, and recruiter/HRBP productivity.
• Architecture: Data pipelines, privacy, security, and governance for enterprise-grade AI.
• Change and ROI: Pilot design, success metrics, adoption strategies, and stakeholder buy-in.
• Ethics: Bias mitigation, transparency, and risk controls aligned with established guidance like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

Live sessions and demos

Attendees will see AI agents addressing specific HR use cases and technical sessions that explain the underlying architecture. You'll also hear how global enterprises are hiring faster and retaining longer with AI - with examples you can apply immediately.
