In Coimbatore specifically, budget ₹7,000–₹21,500 per month for a hr intern — close to the national average, with moderate local competition for candidates.

Three questions that separate hr intern candidates
These are written so an HR generalist can ask them without domain expertise. You do not need to evaluate the technical answer — listen for whether the candidate reasons from something they actually did, or from something they read.
- 1
An employee tells you something in confidence that you think your manager needs to know. What do you do?
- 2
A new joiner’s documents are incomplete on day one. Walk me through your next hour.
- 3
What would you change about the onboarding you have personally experienced?
