I'm a seasoned HR professional with 15 years generalist/HRBP experience and have been unsuccessful at job searching since March 2025. I applied for jobs that I'm highly qualified for but either didn't hear back from anyone or didn't get past the first interview. I was job searching in the past and always got a job quickly. I need a job that doesn't pay at entry level salary and am willing to do anything that's not HR. What are my options now? Anybody here experiences the same thing?

You can try for compliance roles and or the legal field for administrative. Not sure if you will get the starting pay you are looking for. The market is challenging right now in all industries. Best wishes going out to you.

You're most welcome. Perhaps you can check out working for a general counsel in an administrative capacity. Good luck with transitioning and keep us posted!

I am seeing this a lot right now. The market feels harsher and slower than before. It is not a reflection of your capability, even though it feels personal.
