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 analysts now:

  1. Citi Jobs (54)
  2. IBM Jobs (61)
  3. Merck Jobs (33)
  4. Baker Hughes Jobs (48)
  5. Arrow Electronics Jobs (34)
