How would you rate the starting salaries for Human Resources Coordinators, as well as the prospects for salary advancement?

Sarah DeArmond Ph.D.

Management and Human Resources Department Chair, Professor of Human Resource Management, University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh

Before the pandemic, starting salary prospects were quite positive in human resource management. I expect to see salaries down a bit. Generally, companies have a slight edge now in salary negotiations, as there is more available talent than may have been the case before the pandemic. However, there have not been as significant of job losses in human resource management as has been the case in some other fields (e.g., hospitality management).

Top companies hiring human resources coordinators now:

  1. IBM Jobs (98)
  2. Kaiser Permanente Jobs (101)
  3. UPS Jobs (213)
  4. Sears Holdings Jobs (173)
  5. Walmart Jobs (290)
