Salary.com Releases Agentic AI Platform for HR and Compensation

April 24, 2025 – Salary.com, a global provider in compensation technology and data, has unveiled its agentic AI platform, specifically for HR and compensation teams. This platform leverages the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and advanced agentic AI to automate complex HR and compensation workflows, scale standard processes, and drive new efficiencies for compensation and HR teams.

“By adding an AI platform to Salary.com’s sophisticated data foundation, HR and compensation teams can dramatically streamline how quickly they get answers to a wide range of complex, previously time-consuming, and data-driven questions,” the company said. “While compensation has historically played a primary role in attracting and retaining top talent, its impact is fundamental to company culture, financial wellbeing, and employee engagement. Compensation remains one of the most complex functions in the HR category, necessitating accuracy, reliability, and close alignment between all functions in a company.”

“We are changing the game for HR and compensation management,” said Kent Plunkett, CEO of Salary.com. “For the first time, HR professionals can harness the power of Agentic AI to not only analyze vast amounts of compensation data but also anticipate trends, recommend strategic actions, and automate time-consuming processes.”

“This is AI that doesn’t just assist —it thinks, learns, and acts in alignment with an organization’s compensation philosophy and business goals,” Mr. Plunkett said. “Our customers rely on us as their trusted partner who keeps them competitive and provides support as they navigate an uncertain future and embrace AI. Salary.com has been the leader in compensation technology for over 25 years. We’re once again blazing the path forward in compensation and HR technology, making sure our customers can realize the full capabilities of AI as the technology advances.”

Salary.com’s AI platform can instantly identify an organization’s top competitors for talent, analyze pay trends across industries, and recommend optimal pay mixes to retain key employees. Salary.com’s AI platform flexibility means HR and compensation teams can also surface hidden job duplication, simulate job architecture adjustments, and calculate the financial impact of aligning to future minimum wage requirements.

Available in 30 Countries

Salary.com also just announced that SalaryIQ now provides real-time compensation intelligence in more than 30 countries. SalaryIQ is the award-winning solution that continuously scans and aggregates millions of job postings from job boards, company career pages, and publicly available sources, helping organizations stay ahead of market shifts and fine-tune compensation packages with the most current pay insights.

This helps organize job levels and clear paths for career growth, while keeping compensation transparent and competitive.”

Leading and Scaling with Talent

Talent has become the cornerstone of value creation in private equity, shaping the success of portfolio companies and driving superior returns. As traditional levers like financial engineering and cost optimization face diminishing returns, private equity firms are increasingly focused on leadership and operational excellence to unlock growth. The role of talent leaders has never been more critical—they are the architects of transformative strategies, aligning people and processes to maximize organizational potential and achieve sustainable scalability.

Hunt Scanlon Media is convening hundreds of operating partners, chief talent officers, and executive recruiters at the Harvard Club in New York on May 15, 2025. We will examine the vital role talent professionals play in driving value creation—from shaping investment strategies and operational initiatives to fostering leadership excellence and organizational growth.

“Expanding our reach across 30+ countries was a logical progression for SalaryIQ, especially as multi-national enterprises seek to recruit in their local and regional markets,” Mr. Knize said. “SalaryIQ provides direct insights into the competitor compensation data that enables HR and talent acquisition teams to respond swiftly to attract and engage job candidates.”

“Having the ability to easily review competitive job posting data with SalaryIQ is the primary reason we made a change from our prior vendor,” said Melissa Sunderland, senior vice president, human resources, at Forever Living Products International. “Comparing market data to what is being advertised is just another data point that contributes to us making the best salary decisions we can.”

“Access to compensation data is always important and SalaryIQ provides a quick and efficient way to get at this data,” said Jon Black, an independent total rewards consultant. “It’s accelerating real-time insights on hot positions and hot labor markets, providing confidence in the ranges we’re paying.”
