There has never been a greater need for competent, high-performing, and promising business candidates than there is right now. The current recruitment norm has become stale, and a more thorough, immersive, and effective approach is required.
Traditional job fairs have a function but have also made it difficult for businesses to find the best individuals in their field. When trying to fulfill an essential position within a company, the candidates available should contain the qualities and skills needed to adequately attain the role. The value of a company's time and financial commitment to these services is diminished when it conducts interviews with unqualified individuals.
Time is money, and time spent on recruitment efforts is one of the most essential components in a business's success. We’ve blended the best aspects of job fairs and recruitment firms, to create our superior event based hiring events.
Phenom Group is aware of how critical it is to develop a proactive and effective recruitment service that meets the needs of both employers and job seekers. They have deliberately shaped what they now refer to as Corporate Combines by strategically identifying the fundamental capabilities of both the job fair and the recruitment firm.
Phenom Group conducts recruitment events for corporations to meet with a large pool of possible candidates in an effort to provide a more contemporary approach to headhunting. These applicants have undergone a thorough screening process, and corporate partners can access their resumes and cover letters up to two weeks before each event. These pre-screening procedures can assist in identifying their top candidates.
Phenom Group offers further online programs to assess candidates' problem- solving skills, talents, and abilities, in addition to assisting with scheduling interviews with your preferred candidates. Additionally, businesses have access to every attendee, regardless of whether they fit their pre-screening criteria.
We carefully choose our prospects from among the college athletic community through our network. We believe that the passion, focus, and talent required to compete as an outstanding collegiate athlete gives our prospects an advantage in the workforce. We provide a huge pool of extremely skilled student-athletes thanks to our candidate pool. Our selection is developed through our close business partnerships with over 300 universities and colleges.
We also offer access to Olympic and professional athletes who want to work remotely for a company or transfer into the corporate sector while still pursuing their athletic goals. These athletes are then able to continue to train to compete on the world’s largest stage, while simultaneously working for and representing your company; it’s truly a win-win relationship with long-term potential.
We aim to provide participating corporations with a premiere level experience at our events that goes above and beyond their expectations. We treat every client as if they are our only priority, and by doing so we each Combine feels like a true white-glove experience.
Phenom Group enables a vast pool of corporations and candidates to adjoin throughout the United States. We host our refined events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta, Washington DC, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Corporate Combine Page:
The true Corporate Combine experience begins when you sign up for our service. When you sign up, we sort through our select pool of applicants to make sure you have a wide selection of interview candidates for your recruitment location. This level of urgency, passion, and dedication to assisting you in finding your future workers is unmatched. We take issues into our own hands since we know the challenges of finding the best of the best.
You'll have a selection of highly qualified, fully vetted candidates two weeks before Corporate Combine. You can then decide if your company prefers interviews to last 15, 30, 40, or 60 minutes. It's your choice!
We offer candidates from universities or colleges from within a 75-100 miles radius of the Combine. As a value-added service that we find many organizations are interested in, we can also invite prospective interns as candidate attendees upon request. Next, we start creating your schedule for the event. Our Combines are designed to feel less like a convention and more like a conversation. Each corporate partner is set up with a 300 square foot ear that is designed to stimulate engagement, conversation, and networking.
There will undoubtedly be a few excellent applicants that were overlooked during the pre- screening, but that's alright. In order to provide you with the greatest options possible, we'll assist in setting up an offsite meeting where you can interview these prospects. You can network and meet with people on a much more casual level at a cocktail gathering that some Combine events host. We find that many of our partners are able to have a better understanding of the personalities and goals of candidates at these end of day functions.
We can also provide you with candidate feedback within 96 hours of our Combine event. The feedback offers your company priceless knowledge that will help you improve and strengthen your already outstanding hiring practices.
Food services and other amenities are included for your convenience for the duration of the event. Because of the strong demand for our premium events, we can only accommodate a small number of participating partners. Before space runs out, join today! Upon registering, werequire a 50% down payment or full payment. Each corporate partner is limited to three team members; extra team members are welcome for a small fee.
Corporate Combine is more than just another hiring event; it's a chance to network with notable job seekers with many of the desirable qualities corporations are searching for in prospective employees. Our events are designed to provide longevity in our candidate's careers and positions within your corporation. We customize our events to each corporate partner's needs while reducing interruptions or frivolous procedures. By participating in one of our national events, you are taking the first step toward identifying the upcoming top contenders for your company's success.
Candidate Page:
Are you tired of endlessly hunting for jobs on a platform full of opportunities that aren't aligned with your unique talents and abilities? Phenom Group works to provide the job seeker with a superior option. As soon as you submit your resume or CV, we work with you to create an authentic profile that showcases your best qualities. We give you a chance to improve your aptitude for problem-solving, interviewing, and basic corporate knowledge. Finding time to utilize this opportunity can be challenging, and we understand many candidates already have busy schedules and prior responsibilities. To be at their best for the Corporate Combine group event, we only ask that each candidate devote an hour or two a week to improving these skills.
Our corporate Combine events are aimed towards introducing you to as many potential business partners as possible in a single day. Our hybrid recruiting program allows you to participate in in-person first interviews within a 50 - 75 mile radius of your school or home. After the event, we ask each candidate to give us thorough feedback on the business partners they spoke with and whether or not they want to continue the relationship (please note that this does not imply they want to have a second conversation, but this information helps us prevent that if they decide to do so and you are no longer interested in the relationship).
We'll contact you within 96 hours after you submit your resume to our database. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. If you require assistance constructing your resume, we can help you with that.
We understand the demands on your time and your high level of dedication because we were once great athletes ourselves; allow us to be a conduit to assist you in breaking into the corporate world.
Welcome to the Phenom Group!
Why Work With Us
We're committed to offering only NCAA, and elite athletes are our primary candidates. These candidates have showcased their determination and commitment ability through 6:00 am practice before school, extensive hours of training, and countless weekends spent at tournaments. Our candidates are built differently and come equipped with a set of skills that they can use as an advantage in the corporate world. Through their commitment to being the best they can be and their understanding of the importance of working as a team, athletes have what it takes to compete and excel in the workforce. They understand the value of hard work and strive to work smarter, not harder. Our athletes also demonstrate the ability to be coached while still being agile enough to adjust on their own and continually improve themselves and their performance.
By utilizing our strong relationships with athletic departments across the country and the various sports governing bodies, we attract only the brightest and elite talent for your company. We thrive off the thrill of finding great corporate homes for excellent athletes.
As former elite athletes, we understand our candidates and what they have to offer. We are committed to being an outstanding service provider to our corporate partners and strive every day to incorporate innovative and high-value-added services into your business.
Through our combination of two recruitment styles, we feel that not only can we excel but also exceed your expectations. We're positive that you'll sign up for years to come after you attend one of our Combine events.
Virtual Combines
We aim to offer our recruitment services to every corporation in a method that works for them. Not every partner has the ability to commit to an in-person Combine, and that's okay. Still want to gain access to our high-value pool of candidates? We offer virtual Combines. Virtual recruitment can be just as useful and rewarding as in-person events. Our virtual corporate Combines are tailored for corporate partners to access fully vetted virtual appointments and a full bevy of "walk-in" traffic. Every virtual Combine event consists of hundreds of highly motivated candidates for our corporate partners to network and interview with.
Due to space limitations, our in-person Combines are restricted to only allowing three representatives for every corporate partner. Virtual Combines are without these limitations and allow you to have as many as twelve representatives for up to four departments or divisions within your company.
Our virtual Combine offers you a pool of candidates looking for permanent placements and those looking for contract work or internships. This allows you to find the best candidate to fit your company's individual needs. You'll also receive helpful feedback from your interviewees, just as you would at an in-person Combine. The feedback is helpful for strengthening your recruitment efforts and allowing you to perform at your best for future events.
Our talent pool consists of over 300 colleges and universities and continues to grow. We have premium access to tens of thousands of student-athletes, offering your company the upper hand in finding the best candidates. We are actively working with current hopeful Olympic athletes. You can only imagine the drive, dedication, commitment, and discipline these athletes can bring to the corporate world.
Just as our in-person Combines, we spare no expense or effort to ensure you receive a seamless white glove experience for our corporate partners and our candidates.
Sign up to attend our virtual Combines starting in January 2023 and experience the difference in your recruitment efforts. When you sign up for two or more Combines, you'll receive a 10% discount!
We offer you the best of both worlds; we are recruiters and event hosts and are driven to offer you exceptional quality and service every time. You won't find a more comprehensive, accommodating, and determined recruitment event designed to find the best possible candidates for your company's long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions Page
How is this different from other in-person job fairs?
Phenom Group has Combined the most advantageous aspects of contingent search firms and traditional job fairs while providing services not typically found at standard recruitment events. Before adding any candidate to the roster of our corporate Combine, we conduct a thorough screening process. We submit candidates to our corporate partners within seven days of the Combine. Then, these corporations decide which applicants reflect the required qualities and skills and deduce who they wish to interview.
After that, we organize everything. We do not require or allow booths at our events; instead, we have constructed 250 - 300 square foot sections with tables, chairs, and a small lounge area for each partner. We provide complimentary food services for all of our corporate partners and a cocktail reception after the conclusion of the Combine in certain locations. Within 96 hours of the conclusion of the Combine, we provide both our corporate partners and candidates with feedback regarding their meetings and the possibility of moving forward.
What distinguishes your virtual job fairs from others?
At our virtual Combines, we distinguish ourselves once again by our attention to detail and the blended approach we incorporate into every event. Our partners will receive thoroughly screened candidate packets within seven days of the virtual Combines. Then, they select who and how many people to interview, provide us with the candidates; and we handle the rest. In contrast to other virtual job fairs, we provide an average of up to six places per company. You have the option of showcasing up to twelve positions from up to four departments or divisions within your company. We recognize the majority of our attendees will only be present during business hours throughout different time zones, and our virtual Combines are accessible for up to thirty hours.
How many applicants can we anticipate seeing at your live events?
Most of our candidates are sourced within a 100-mile radius of the Combine. We purposefully locate our events in areas that provide candidates from at least three colleges or institutions, typically more than five. Depending on the size of the Combine, you can anticipate receiving at least 250 - 300 applications, but typically closer to 400 or more. You will have the opportunity to interact with individuals who were not selected for an interview; but who may be of interest. Please note that we will not send you the resumes of all applicants; instead, you can review our database for the event and select who you are interested in interviewing from there.
How many candidates are anticipated to attend your virtual Combines?
Since there are no size constraints for our virtual Combines, you can expect at least 450 candidates on average, but we project to host over 600 candidates for the thirty-hour duration. As with the in-person Combine, we will not inundate you with resumes; rather, you will be able to pursue our database before the event and select the candidates you wish to interview. Please remember that we also offer applicants for internships and contract positions through our virtual Combined events.
Can we contract Phenom Group for a specific search?
The majority of our time and energy is devoted to achieving our mission of being the world's leading employment event provider. We are accessible for specific search contracts on a limited scale. Nevertheless, we provide a distinctive talent pool and will collaborate with our corporate clients on a small number of retained searches throughout the year.
What is Phenom Group's refund policy?
We recognize that circumstances and plans can change. However, we base our in-person locations on a minimum number of corporate partners. Therefore, we offer our business partners the option of transferring their attendance cost to another one of our events or receiving a 75% refund. If, for any reason, we fail to provide you with reasonable expectations for any event, we will offer you free admission to another event, with our commitment to improving your overall experience. We strive to not only meet but greatly exceed your expectations.
What can I anticipate as a candidate in the Phenom Group database?
Once we have your resume, we will schedule a 20 - 30 minute conversation to better understand your needs and timeline. We'll ask you to complete a series of brief online tests so that we can understand your skillset and better match you with our corporate partners. We require all candidates to attend both in-person and virtual Combine events; this will allow you to fully assess the market and make the best choice possible. We'll assist in refining your resume, enhancing your interview skills, and maximizing your chances of landing an excellent job in the corporate world. We are dedicated to assisting you in creating the finest possible representation of your abilities, personality, and every Combine. Are you ready for your dream job? Let the games begin!
