Am I getting underpaid? I’m a University Recruiter and am making $65k in Chicago. I have over 5 years of university relations experience and recruiting experience. In my former role, I worked closely with universities and managed college and high school programs. I recruited 20 interns each summer for 5 summers in my former role. This is my first time working with an ATS and working with hiring managers. The current company I work for is a Fortune 500.

I mean, for the number of interns you hired, that seems right; there are some larger intern programs that hire closer to 200-300 interns for the summer and is more of a PM role bc of the volume and amount of departments requiring interns. I would say you could definitely leverage that experience into a higher paying campus program, but definitely expect to do more volume for more $$$.

Yes you’re underpaid. Your could easily earn 85K plus

Thank you!

About right in UK wage equivalent but then living costs are much less here so probably yes. Best thing to do is reach out and ask a local recruitment agency
