## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Phenom you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.

- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
