Compensation professionals face more complexity than ever — supporting business decisions, pricing in volatile markets, and aligning pay strategies with talent goals. But too often, the tools haven’t kept up.
At Payscale, we’re redefining compensation technology with a bold new approach — embedding expertise, AI-driven intelligence, and fresh data directly into user workflows. By solving real challenges with next-generation tools, we’re paving the way for a smarter, more strategic future of compensation.
We’re building tools that aren’t just faster than spreadsheets — they’re smarter. Not just modern, but intelligent. And this spring, we’re excited to introduce two new experiences that bring our vision of forward-looking, insight-driven compensation to life.
Explore: Intelligent insights, delivered instantly
Meet Payfactors Explore — a new way to interact with the market that surfaces dynamic, AI-powered insights to help you work more strategically. Whether you’re pricing a job, identifying pay trends, or advising HR and leadership, Explore gives you a real-time window into what’s happening now, so you can act with confidence, not guesswork.
You don’t need to dig through data. Explore brings the insights to you — clearly, visually, and in context.
- See how the market is shifting — job by job, location by location
- Get instant answers, powered by semantic AI
- Support decisions with insights that go beyond just the number
Explore is available to Payscale customers starting April 22, and we’re bringing it to Payfactors Free in May so more teams can experience how intelligent insights are changing the game.
A homepage built for strategic work
We’ve reimagined the Payfactors Homepage to give compensation professionals a smarter way to start their day. Built with the realities of your workflow in mind, the new Homepage surfaces exactly what you need to be productive and aligned, right from the moment you log in.
This isn’t just a visual update — it’s a redesigned experience grounded in over 1,000 years of collective compensation expertise. Whether you’re managing company data, tracking market trends, or pricing jobs, the Homepage gives you tailored, strategic access to help you work more efficiently and stay focused on what matters most.
- Jump back into key tasks faster with shortcuts tailored to your work
- Track data health at a glance with personalized, role-specific insights
- Stay aligned to your workflow with strategic navigation that guides your next steps
The new Homepage is your command center for confident decision-making.
Innovation that builds toward the future
These new experiences are more than just upgrades — they’re a preview of where we’re going. Behind Explore is a brand-new dataset, Payscale Verse, that will soon bring even more intelligence to your pricing work. Think fewer data gaps. More relevant insights. And tools that learn and adapt to how you work.
It’s not about replacing your expertise — it’s about amplifying it.
The future of compensation isn’t manual. It’s strategic. And it starts here.
