It's low because of salary negotiation

HR has been the dumping ground for useless college majors for years now. Basically, anyone can do HR with any degree. It is a low skilled profession full of individuals who have never had any real power in their lives or people who never had to do any real labor. They get handed power over employees on day one of their employment and they never had to work their way up. These are the people who are responsible for creating unrealsitc job applications and pushing their ideology as well as their beliefs on employees of said company. Employees who don't follow these ideals or beliefs are usually terminated from their positions. HR is responsible for ruining the work place. If you are employed at a company that staffs an HR department, avoid them at all costs! They are soley there to protect the employers and their own interests. Good riddance.

The facilities today of AIs in "reading" the tone of voice or body expressions in a job interview. This removes the need for a person to do this "body reading".

Translation:
The capabilities of AI today in "reading" the tone of voice or body language during a job interview make it unnecessary for a person to perform this "body reading".

Human Resource has a "human" component that automation cannot justify in terms of work, skill, and judgement. So, its highly unlikely for this position to be automated for the next two decades.
