The query is on behalf of one of my friends who posted the same issue to me. I am sharing it here for your valuable suggestions and feedback for him.
Hi, my name is Anvesh, and I am working as an HR trainee at XYZ software company (employee strength is 72). I am the first HR person (trainee), and my problem is that the employer didn't inform me about the recruitment process. Whenever recruitment happened, he posted directly on Naukri site and the next post to our internal mail, and then only I saw our recruitment along with employees. I am confused as he didn't teach me anything about HR activities or other things. Salary will be credited at the end of the month, but I have not learned or practiced any HR tasks. What should I do in this situation? Please guide me. Regards, Anvesh
Please share your valuable suggestions with him. Thanks, Venkat

Hi,
Nothing to worry, it happens. Ask the concerned person politely to teach you. There's nothing wrong with asking for help. You can also inquire if you can assist with some work. As you are a trainee, it will take time to pick up everything, so be patient and learn by observing others. When I was a trainee, I faced similar issues, and they started assigning me work after three months. All the best!

Hi Priyaudhai,
Thank you for the valuable feedback. He joined in October 2015, and now he has 7 months of experience. He knows everything about how to write job descriptions, post on Naukri, and handle end-to-end recruitment. The reason behind his success is that he is close to all the employees, shares all details of his workday with them, and is also part of the gaspipis employer. These are the reasons stated by the employer for his effectiveness.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hello Venkat,
Ask your friend Anvesh to try this out.
Rather than asking or expecting the company or the boss to train him, let him politely offer to do the job posting so that the boss's time is saved—he can add that it will help with his clearance. Similarly for other HR tasks as well.
Unless Anvesh has not already made a mark for messing up some situations, any boss will usually agree.
Another way is to go through the job postings that are posted and make any suggestions to present the postings better. The downside here would be the flak he will need to take if the suggestions are not quite professional... but that's a part of the learning process.
Like other members mentioned, this is quite common for those beginning their careers. And in small companies, no one has quite the time to formally train others. It all needs to be learned on the job.
The timeframe of 7 months you mentioned is not a benchmark... it all depends on the confidence level your friend generates in his boss. There's nothing of less or more time in such issues.
All the best.
