How organizations decide to pay people is one of the most important choices they make. When it’s done well, it attracts great talent, retains your top people, builds trust, and keeps costs in check. When pay isn’t done well, it leads to inefficiency, waste, and unnecessary compliance and attrition risk.
AI should make setting pay easier and smarter, not riskier. That idea led to Syndi, Syndio’s new AI Decision Intelligence for Pay solution. It’s built on years of helping companies use data responsibly to make pay both fair and strategic.
Syndi brings clarity and speed to how organizations pay people, while keeping human judgment, transparency, and privacy at the center.
Meeting today’s challenges
Syndi is an AI-powered pay expert that delivers precise, consistent compensation decisions you can trust. It doesn’t replace human judgment; it strengthens it. Syndi brings together everything that matters to a pay decision — market data, candidate information, budget constraints, and a company’s unique pay philosophy — and makes it work in sync. Leaders get clear, data-driven guidance right when they need it.
We built Syndi with a focus on what matters most: responsible AI that is trustworthy, transparent and designed with human judgment, privacy, and governance at the core, so organizations can move fast, with trust. That balance of speed and accountability is what makes Syndi different and dependable.
1) Transparency is a priority
Transparency is a core design principle.
Every Syndi recommendation comes with context you can see, share, and scrutinize. We show the inputs, constraints, and relevant policies that drive recommendations, so humans can validate, challenge, or improve outcomes.
Alongside technical detail, Syndi provides plain-language rationale to ensure easy understanding for all levels. Plus, companies have the ability to audit the decisions and history in a comprehensive way that’s easy to interpret. Every recommendation shows the logic, data inputs, and comparison groups, ensuring the rationale is auditable for internal reviews, pay governance reporting, and regulatory inquiries.
2) Human-in-the-loop by design
Syndi never makes autonomous employment decisions. It assists people rather than replaces them. Users keep full control, with clear rationales and the ability to accept, adjust, or ignore any recommendation.
While Syndi uses internal AI components (“AI agents”) to parse data, apply policies, and generate suggestions, it does not act without human oversight. Recruiters and compensation teams can accept, adjust, or ignore any suggestion at any time. This human-in-the-loop approach provides recommendations that are always transparent and explainable.
Syndi continuously learns from user feedback, ensuring decisions evolve with organizational context. Roles and approvals are embedded to keep accountability where it belongs: with people.
3) Rigorous privacy is Syndi’s default
Privacy is the foundation of trust. We built Syndi to adhere to the most rigorous end-to-end privacy standards, aligning with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Your data stays yours. You retain ownership of the data you upload; recommendations generated for your organization are your proprietary outputs. Syndi never uses sensitive or identifiable data to train models across organizations. Model tuning is performed exclusively on your company’s data, completely isolated from other customers.
Our approach follows GDPR principles and the EU AI Act, including documented risk assessments, human oversight, clear audit trails, strict bias mitigation protocols, and tenant-specific, de-identified data for all model training and recommendations. We thoroughly test our systems for bias, accuracy, and reliability through a combination of automated safeguards, human review, and ongoing monitoring.
4) Velocity with governance
Innovation needs freedom; responsibility needs structure. Syndi delivers both. Syndio is committed to continuous, high-velocity innovation and comprehensive governance.
Our agile process ensures rapid delivery with built-in guardrails at every step. We mitigate bias by running disparate impact assessments and simulations across relevant subgroups, and removing any potentially biasing information before making any pay recommendations. Ongoing accuracy testing ensures models remain fair, explainable, and reliable over time.
Syndio also embeds bias testing and compliance auditing across the lifecycle; each suggestion and override is logged to create a complete, auditable record. Syndi is installed in your workflow tools by users and governed by your access controls. Users are not auto-enrolled and have the choice to use Syndi.
