HR Internship

Most of the work is on the hiring side. You help find candidates, screen them and line them up for open positions. You also keep the trackers, the interview calendar and employee files correct, and you work with hiring managers so the process runs smoothly for candidates and new joiners.

Then there is the admin side. You back up onboarding, paperwork, internal messaging and day-to-day HR administration.

You also pitch in on engagement activities, HR reports and projects that improve how things get done.

Freshers are welcome, especially those who want to begin a career in HR. Here is what the employer looks for:

• Good at communicating, staying organised, following up and dealing with people
• Comfortable with email, spreadsheets and everyday office software
• Proactive and eager to learn, careful with sensitive matters, and detail-minded
• Available to work full-time, onsite in Bangalore, across a three-month stretch

Good performance may lead to a full-time offer, depending on what the organisation needs at the time.

• Build a small candidate tracker in a spreadsheet, with stages and interview dates. Tracking is a big part of the duties listed.
• Have a short story ready about chasing something until it was closed. Follow-up is one of the skills asked for.
• Read up on how screening, interview scheduling and onboarding work, so the terms feel familiar.
• Think of an example where you handled private information carefully or caught a small error.
• Practise writing and speaking clearly, since you will be dealing with candidates and managers.
