The Role
As an HR Intern, you will analyze a chosen HR process, identify inefficiencies, design solutions, and potentially implement your ideas while collaborating with the HR team.
Summary Generated by Built In

As our HR Intern, you’ll take on a real HR process, break it down, uncover what’s slowing it down, and design creative solutions that make it better. You’ll get hands‑on experience with process mapping, stakeholder interviews, solution design, and even implementation.

This is an internship where your ideas won’t just be heard — they’ll be put into action.

What You’ll Do

Choose Your Process: Pick an HR process that interests you — job requisitions, leave requests, recruitment, onboarding, you name it. You’ll work with your HR mentor to make sure it’s the right fit for improvement.

Research & Discover

  • Interview HR team members and business partners
  • Identify what’s confusing, frustrating, or slowing things down
  • Use surveys if helpful to gather broader feedback

Analyze the Pain Points

  • Map out the current process
  • Highlight where delays, confusion, or inefficiencies occur
  • Identify the top areas that need attention

Brainstorm Solutions

Think creatively and practically. Your ideas might include:

  • Digital checklists
  • A chatbot for FAQs
  • Better use of existing systems
  • Streamlined workflows

Choose a solution that’s both innovative and realistic.

Pitch Your Idea

  • Build a slide deck that tells the story: the problem, the pain points, and your proposed solution
  • Present your pitch to the HR team and selected business partners

Build the Implementation Plan

  • Outline timelines, steps, and resources needed
  • Begin implementing your solution if time allows

Additional Opportunities

  • Participate in HR planning meetings
  • Support HR, Payroll, and Benefits teams on various projects
  • Help enhance company community engagement and volunteer initiatives

What You Bring

  • Pursuing an Associate’s degree or higher
  • Creative problem‑solving and analytical thinking
  • Ability to collaborate with team members and business partners
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information

Why You’ll Love This Internship

You’ll get a true behind‑the‑scenes look at how HR operates — and you’ll help make it better. You’ll learn how to analyze processes, work with stakeholders, design solutions, and present your ideas with confidence.
