Tasks

Internship Overview

We are looking for a HR Assistant Intern to support our recruiting and candidate consulting activities. You’ll work closely with our recruiters and founders, helping IT specialists find new job opportunities abroad and start careers in Germany.

No prior HR experience is required — you’ll receive onboarding, training, and continuous feedback. This internship is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, enjoys communication, and wants to build a career in HR, recruiting, or international talent consulting.

At the end of the internship, we’ll run a performance and fit evaluation and, if it’s a strong match, explore the possibility of transitioning into a long-term role (depending on performance and business needs).

• Prepare simple progress reports on client job applications
• Conduct basic research on companies and job openings based on client criteria
• Collaborate with recruiters to ensure a smooth candidate experience

Please read the requirements carefully before applying. Applications that do not meet the requirements will not be considered.

• Fluency in English (C1)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and solid research habits
• Basic understanding of the IT landscape (e.g., you know Java vs. JavaScript)
• Comfortable working with job boards and Google Docs
• Eagerness to learn new tools and processes

Would Be a Plus

• Any exposure to HR, recruiting, account management, customer support, or career consulting
• Experience with outreach/messages, scheduling, or structured admin work
