Korn Ferry finds two thirds of candidates prefer AI over humans for pay decisions
Candidates favor AI for pay

A new finding from Korn Ferry reveals that nearly two thirds of job candidates express a preference for firms that use artificial intelligence instead of human managers to determine pay.

Candidates see machine-driven compensation decisions as potentially fairer, reflecting growing trust in automation for high-stakes workplace processes. This trend highlights a shift in workforce sentiment as companies increasingly turn to AI tools to address perceived biases in pay structures.

The growing acceptance of AI-driven compensation aligns with broader workforce concerns, including the risk of automation replacing human roles—a topic explored in depth in an analysis of how 52 percent of workers fear AI job loss. Additionally, these preferences dovetail with projections on six trends set to reshape talent acquisition, underscoring the complex impact artificial intelligence continues to have on organizational strategies and employee expectations.
