I’m an HR Manager for a small (41 employee) company in Chicago. I make $70,000 a year no bonuses. I’m SHRM-CP and PHR certified with four years experience and a masters in HR. Am I underpaid?

Anyone actually keep their PHR active? I got my cert in 2013 and have done nothing since.

If you recently passed the SHRM CP exam, how much of a pay increase did you receive from your company? (%) Trying to figure out what is a reasonable ask on my end. Thanks in advance!!

Hi! I’m trying to breaking into HR or L&D. I have a management and coordinator background in the entertainment, fitness and hospitality industries.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology.

Hello! I am in Charlotte and I am working for an Engineering Consulting company based out of Maryland. I am working on getting my SHRM certification in January. Right now I am making $65k (my last position was payroll specialist, and I just moved into the HR side of things this last month). Should I expect a pay raise in January after getting certified? I will be the only employee in the HR department of a company of 100+ employees.

I’m looking to formally pivot to HR. My experience has been a jack of all trades, operations, some HR, some finance, etc. I’m currently a Director of a federal agency that I’ve been with for 7 years. I’m looking to transition back into the private sector. Would a SHRM-SCP help with the transition and will the certification make a difference?

Had multiple promising interviews the past 7 months but no job offers :( Looking for fully remote benefits or HR generalist type roles paying >80k. 6.5 years of total HR experience and 3.5 in benefits. Bachelors and PHR. Any leads are superrrrr appreciated!!

I have been working with a company for about 6 years as a Recruiter but I don’t feel I’m gaining the best recruiting experience due to so many limitations our company has. I’ve had to teach myself Boolean searching to be more active in recruiting. I have not had the luxury of someone to truly mentor me into a Recruiter so I’m trying to find any way I can learn and be more employable. Any advice? I’ve obtained my SHRM-CP, CIR and am in the process of a the PRC. What else can I utilize or do? Thx!

How long do background checks and "review of eligibility" take for Canadian work permits?

I applied from the US in August 2021 and have been waiting since. Just called the IRCC number and the automated status update said that my background check is in process and they haven't even begun to review my eligibility yet. Do they review eligibility after background check is complete?

Anyone have good insight into the company/culture for: Sun Life Financial, Silver Point Capital, and EQT Partners?

I’m working at a new company and absolutely love it, my boss just hired a new person on our team that has no hr experience, no college background, they worked in IT so she thought it would be great to have her own IT person, now I’m struggling to make it through the day at work because of the language that the new person uses in conversations or the fact that he wears the same outfit all week long to work. Am I just being petty and should I get over it?

What is the craziest thing someone has done to get a job at your company and it actually worked?

Our company usually does performance evaluations in June of each year. Our pay philosophy is not clear. We usually give a COLA in January each year, somewhere around 2% and if an employee performed well, they get above the 2%. I have suggested we change our process to have a clear pay philosophy with increases tied to performance, with goals tied to overall goals of the organization. What is your process? Are you doing performance evals during COVID?

Are we headed for a recession?

Thanks for the support in advance 😊
