Case Study: Primetals Technologies boosts internal career mobility with Phenom

Primetals Technologies plans 70% of roles with career paths using Phenom

Primetals Technologies, a global engineering solutions firm, faced high attrition among younger employees due to a lack of visible career growth paths within its change-averse, technical industry. To address this retention challenge, the company partnered with vendor Phenom to implement its AI-powered talent management solutions, including Phenom Career Pathing, Talent Marketplace, and Mentoring.

The solution used Phenom's AI to analyze employee skills and surface unexpected cross-disciplinary career paths, shifting the focus from HR-prescribed routes to data-driven opportunities. This initiative is building a global skills-based career mobility framework. While the full rollout is planned for late 2026, Primetals has already set clear adoption targets, including 70% of roles having defined career paths and 65% employee profile completion to power the system. Phenom's technology helped change the internal conversation about mobility and is a central part of the strategy to retain technical talent.
