Phenom is an enterprise talent-experience suite with a career site, CRM, scheduling and AI agents, often run alongside Workday. Its Fit Score ranks candidates and highlights the key factors behind each rating, but Phenom doesn't publish the score's format. SquarePeg gives every candidate a 0–100 subscore on each criterion you write, with the resume lines behind it and company data the resume leaves out, and checks every applicant for authenticity when they apply.
Phenom is an enterprise talent-experience platform for large and high-volume employers, usually running alongside ATSs like Workday. It includes a career site, Talent CRM, screening, scheduling and interview intelligence, built around AI agents: Fit Score ranking, a Voice Screening Agent, an AI Interviewer, a Sourcing Agent and a Fraud Detection Agent. In 2026 it bought Be Applied for skills-first hiring and Plum for behavioral assessments.

Phenom covers the whole enterprise candidate experience. SquarePeg goes deeper on the screening step and on the criteria you set.
Every score shows its evidence. SquarePeg scores applicants as they apply, plus past candidates and sourced profiles, against criteria you write in plain language or generate from the job description, each marked Required, Preferred or Bonus. Every criterion gets a 0–100 subscore with a written explanation and the resume lines it's based on, so you review the best people first and can explain every ranking. Eligibility rules (location or radius, time zone, screening answers, a previous rejection reason or the application source) run first, so ineligible applicants are never scored or charged.
Phenom's Fit Score ranks applicants, past applicants and CRM contacts into a prioritized list, using skills, experience, title, location, engagement, past outcomes and recruiter feedback. Phenom says it "highlights key factors behind each rating," but it doesn't publish whether the score is a number, a grade or a band, or show subscores for your criteria. Phenom doesn't describe company data such as headcount or funding in the score. Pre-screening questions knock out candidates who miss minimum criteria.
SquarePeg connects to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, iCIMS, Recruitee and other ATSs and syncs your jobs and applicants. SquarePeg makes rejections and stage changes in your ATS just as if you had made them there, so your ATS emails and automations still run, and the Chrome extension opens it right next to the job or candidate you're viewing. No migration and no new system for your team to learn.
Phenom runs alongside Workday with an integration and a Chrome extension that brings its candidate pipeline into Workday. It also lists integrations with SAP, UKG and ADP. Phenom doesn't publicly describe writing stage changes back to the ATS.
Every candidate gets an authenticity confidence rating (High, Mixed, Limited, Low or Unknown), kept separate from their score. It's built from LinkedIn, phone, email and resume signals, and it also flags a phone, email or resume shared with a differently named applicant. It's included in the credit that scores the candidate. Signals inform your review; nothing is rejected automatically.
Phenom's Fraud Detection Agent works across video screens, phone interviews and final interviews. It matches faces and voices to confirm identity, flags answers that look written by a large language model and checks resumes for fabrication.
Rediscovery searches past applicants in your ATS for people who fit a new opening and scores them on the same criteria as today's applicants. Outbound sourcing finds new candidates outside your ATS on the same scale, and you reveal an email only for the people you want to contact. Every resume gets company context such as industry, headcount, funding and public or private status. And you can find, compare and fine-tune just by asking: the SquarePeg agent finds past candidates who fit a new role, compares your top applicants, explains any score, and can review and update a job's criteria and eligibility rules, in the web app or inside your ATS.
Fit Score also ranks past applicants and CRM contacts. Phenom's Sourcing Agent turns a hiring manager's request into a search and drafts outreach, though Phenom doesn't describe a database of outside profiles. It adds a Talent CRM, automated scheduling, a Voice Screening Agent, an AI Interviewer and a Candidate Concierge on the career site, WhatsApp and email.

Before SquarePeg: "I'll spend time setting up a call with somebody, going to LinkedIn profile, trying to decipher if they're a real person, and then get them on the phone, and they're in no way matched up to the actual profile I had."
Phenom says Fit Score highlights the key factors behind each rating, but it doesn't publish the score's format.
