# Korn Ferry

**Role in the source:** cited as an evidence source for the premise that automation disproportionately targets junior work — support for [[claim-entry-level-automation-destroys-pipeline]].

**Profile.** A global organizational-consulting firm (canonical: kornferry.com) that produces talent and future-of-work research, including trend reports on AI, automation, and talent acquisition.

**Cited finding.** Its *2026 Talent Acquisition Trends Report* found that **43% of companies plan to replace roles with AI**, with **back-office functions (58%)** and **junior positions (37%)** bearing the brunt of the cuts. These figures also feed the macro concern raised in [[question-macro-leadership-shortage]].
