HR-related Jobs - How much are you earning?

Hi check with you guys/gals who have experience in HR.

I am currently a HRBP in a one of the big local GLCs with more than 20 years HR experience and heard a lot of people mentioning Cultural and Diversity COE as the next big “in” thing in the HR world. An ex-colleague doing recruitment told me a lot of MNCs are hiring specialists in this area at 350k+ total package.

I don’t have the required C&D experience per se, but am willing to move into a culture / diversity role on the same pay (currently 250k inclusive of bonus & allowance) if the opportunity for growth is there as I really want to try out something new but yet related to HR.

Anyone has tips to share on how to position my CV and what are the competencies and skillsets they usually look for?

If I have your kind of pay and got enough savings and little debt, I will just quit and do whatever job that I have passion irregardless of pay.

You in the wrong forum lah. Here mostly fresh grads or junior execs who dun even make 10k, you can try asking those professional forum or seminar instead.

Hi I would need some advice regarding HR- related jobs and remunerations.

My employment history:

5 years with MOE as a teacher, left with slightly over 3k, was a diploma holder and managed to get my degree in arts while still working as a teacher.

Left (and never looked back) and joined SAF (DXO) as a Training and Development Executive (HR- related). 1 year of experience and fetching $4k monthly (gross, excluding bonuses)

To be brutally honest, I have no HR experience or whatsoever except for training and development experience with SAF. I have friends (and connections) in local MNCs who hooked me up with a job titled, Sourcer, Global Talent Acquisition.

I am just curious, would they match my pay or do I have to start anew? I understand that all my previous experiences will not be taken into consideration right?

I am actually looking at companies with the possibilities of overseas posting as Hubb and I recently applied for Canadian PR (if not I really wouldn't wan to leave my job with SAF.)

Any advice? How should I negotiate my pay? Can I likely fetch more than what I am currently paid?

You mention "local MNC", I assume this just means it's a local large company? I don't think there is any local company that qualify as MNC now unless you mean it in a loose sense of having offices outside Singapore.

It really depends on what is the role of this new job. A real Talent Acquisition specialist that covers globally in a MNC can probably command salary in the range of 15k – 25k, but seeing your basic level of work experience and the fact a friend can just hook you up randomly for the job like that, my guess is it is just a fake title for an in-house generic recruiter.

For an internal general recruiter 3-4k is quite the average, so I guess you can try putting down 4k as your expected and indicate your willingness to negotiate. Set 3.5k as your bottom line if they want to negotiate.

As for overseas posting to Canada you need to be realistic, a company is not going to make arrangements for an overseas assignment for this kind of entry level position without special skill set. If you really need to relocate, most likely they will ask you to resign first then try applying for another job in the overseas subsidiary.

Anyway I don’t think it will work in this case because Canada has strict employment laws that companies need to demonstrate talent scarcity before they can hire a foreigner. Not going to happen for your sort of level.

Dun understand this part, you mean you quit your SAF job without backup just because you may want to migrate to Canada? And you are now looking for another local company job hoping they will expatriate you to Canada? Dun sound logical to me…

Thank you for the responses!

By MNCs, I mean large companies with various headquarters around the wall. I understand that some MNCs do provide overseas postings for small- fry role. My friend who works in Shell requested to be posted to Texas, and he got it. I think he is not exactly a big earner.

What I meant is for the MNC to refer me to a job in Canada after my PR is approved, and I know I am not heading there as an expat, so I am not requesting to be 'expatriated' because I know I am not 'expat calibre' to begin with. I am just asking if the company is able to refer me to jobs in Canada if they also have head offices there.

Yes, you are right, we are migrating to Canada with no job offer. I do not think its crazy so I would appreciate advice and not belittlement. That said, thank you for your explanation, at least I know how much to ask for during the interview.

Just wondering why you would think this ?
