HR professionals are more likely to expect a pay decrease than an increase if they changed job this year.
According to a recent HR market survey, 33 per cent of HR professionals said they expect a salary decrease if they changed jobs this year compared with only 11 per cent who would expect an increase.
David Owens, managing director of HR Partners, said that while this trend had always been present in the market, its rise could be attributed to limited opportunities, or people wanting to take a role with a different focus or scale than they had before.
Other reasons for professionals being prepared to take a pay cut have been cited as a willingness to change specialisation and acceptance of the limited opportunities available.
According to the survey, however, expectations remain bullish in the HR profession when it comes to salaries, with 71 per cent expecting a pay increase in 2010.
