Junior HR Intern

Curd Rice is a strategy consulting studio in Coimbatore. We help founders of 1–100 Cr businesses across India, the Gulf and Asia scale without chaos, and we build BIOS, our own AI-powered business intelligence platform. We are small, fast and growing, which is why we need you.

Role: Junior HR Intern Location: On-site, R S Puram, Coimbatore Duration: 6 months, full-time

What you will own

You will run hiring and people operations for a growing firm:

• Write and post job descriptions on LinkedIn, Naukri, Internshala and college placement cells
• Screen resumes against a scoring rubric and shortlist candidates
• Schedule interviews, coordinate with partners, and keep every candidate informed
• Maintain the hiring tracker and employee records
• Prepare offer letters, appointment letters and onboarding checklists
• Draft Curd Rice's first HR policies (leave, attendance, onboarding) for partner approval
• Support client projects that need people work: org charts, JDs, hiring plans

What is hard about this role

There is no HR department here. You will be the first person doing this full-time, so you will build processes, not follow them. Partners are busy; you will need to chase decisions politely and persistently.
