Here are 2019's top-paying jobs in HR

HR directors who have experience in China and India can earn up to $400,061.

Five in-demand jobs have risen in the human resources (HR) field as industries increasingly seek HR personnel across industries, according to report by Randstad Singapore.

“Those who have experience in developing innovative and successful talent management initiatives will be highly sought-after, as companies need to ensure that their offers match the expectations of a modern HR professional,” the company said.

According to the firm, compensation and benefits managers can earn $104,779 to $188,926, whilst directors can earn $187,464 to $283,396. “Experienced C&B professionals who can design and enhance current benefits and sales compensation programmes to attract and retain talent will be highly sought-after, as more companies have adopted a two-pronged approach (offline and online) towards sales and customer engagement,” it added.

HR business partners in the junior level can earn $56,595 to $83,720 for developing the company’s HR strategy and playing an active role in business partnering, whilst those in the senior level can earn $182,464 to $234,827 for strategic planning and driving board agenda.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
