You will support our recruitment efforts by sourcing candidates, screening applications, and helping coordinate the full hiring process. While this role is entry-level, we are looking for someone with a strong work ethic and a desire to learn.

• Learning & Collaboration: Work closely with senior recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements and support an efficient, impartial recruitment process.
• Admin and business partnering activities.

Requirements

• Education: Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Psychology, Business Administration, Communications, or a related field.
• Interest in Recruitment: Genuine interest in talent acquisition and people operations. Previous internship or volunteer experience in recruitment/HR is a plus, but not required.
• Language: Fluent in English (written and spoken).
