What you'll do

—Run onboarding for new joiners: paperwork, accounts, the first-week plan
—Keep employee records and trackers accurate and up to date
—Answer the routine questions people bring to HR, and know which ones to escalate
—Coordinate interviews, inductions and internal sessions
—Pull together simple reports on headcount, attendance and joining status
—Help run engagement activities without them quietly becoming your whole job

What success looks like

—In your first 30 days: onboarded your first joiners with someone checking your work
—In your first 30 days: know where every record lives and who owns it
—By 60 days: running onboarding end to end on your own
—By 60 days: producing the weekly headcount and joining report without being asked
—By 90 days: trusted with a process of your own from start to finish
—By 90 days: fixed one thing about how we do it that was quietly wasting time

What we're looking for

—Written communication — writes a short, clear message a candidate or a hiring manager can act on without needing a reply
—Coordination — keeps a process with several people and dates in it from slipping
—Fairness and policy awareness — notices a question or a criterion that should not be used, and says so
—Learning speed — picks up something unfamiliar quickly and can say how they went about it

Helpful, but not required

—Reading people data — reads a simple headcount or funnel report and sees what it is telling you
—Ownership — closes the loop without being chased, and says early when something has gone wrong
—Our applicant tracking system and internal trackers (you can learn this here)
—How we run intake calls with hiring managers (you can learn this here)
—Sourcing on LinkedIn Recruiter and Naukri (you can learn this here)
—Screening conventions for the market you cover (you can learn this here)

—Any HR or recruitment internship, however short
—Placement committee, campus recruitment or student-body hiring
—A project where you interviewed, screened or coordinated people
—Anything you have used an AI assistant for, and what you were trying to do with it
