Chicago, IL — July 9, 2026 — UrbanBound, the leading relocation solution in healthcare, today announced it has joined Phenom’s partner marketplace, the leader in applied AI built specifically to redesign work operations. Being a part of Phenom’s partner ecosystem gives UrbanBound enterprise talent customers access to a seamless, end-to-end solution that enhances how they attract, hire and relocate top talent.

Customers using UrbanBound’s modern relocation platform with Phenom, will be empowered to better support candidates from first touch through onboarding and beyond. By integrating relocation directly into the hiring journey, organizations can reduce friction, accelerate decision-making, and improve acceptance rates, especially for out-of-market hires.

“Accepting a job is one thing, uprooting your life is another,” said Jeff Ellman, Co-Founder of UrbanBound. “This partnership with Phenom makes that transition feel manageable and supported, so candidates can say yes with confidence and employers can secure the talent they’ve worked hard to win.”

Phenom’s AI and automation is driven by a Hypercell framework that tailors AI agents to the specific industry, role, function, geography and workflow that are critical to business strategy and company growth. The application of agents is orchestrated by Phenom WorkOps across the entire talent lifecycle, applying agent operating policies in real time to handle exceptions and escalate to humans when required.. With UrbanBound now part of that ecosystem, companies can proactively address one of the biggest barriers to hiring: the complexity and cost of relocation.


“Talent mobility plays a critical role in helping organizations compete for top talent,” said Saumil Gandhi, Sr. Vice President, Corporate Development at Phenom. “UrbanBound joining our partner marketplace enables customers to not only accelerate hiring with AI, but also easily offer relocation options for candidates and employees to fill roles faster.”
