About HR salaries
People teams earn more when they hire well and keep the team healthy. Clear, fair processes matter.
How to read these bands: "Junior" is the lower third of a region's base range, "Mid" is the middle band, and "Senior" is the upper band. Pay changes with company stage (startup vs. later stage), location, and how much pay is variable or equity. The tables show base pay only. Always compare total pay, not just base.
What influences pay
- Hiring speed and bar
- Retention and engagement
- Policy and compliance scope
- Total rewards strategy
In-demand skills
- Full cycle recruiting
- Comp and benefits design
- People ops systems
- Org development
Typical career ladder
- Junior: pipelines and ops
- Mid: org support and programs
- Senior: program ownership and strategy
Practical tips
Share pipeline metrics, time to hire, and quality of hire. Explain how you partner with hiring managers and keep policies clear and fair. Ask about headcount plans and tools.
