You'll Fit Right In If You

• Are pursuing/hold a degree in HR, Business, or literally anything (we care more about hustle than the major)
• Can talk to strangers on the phone without breaking a sweat.
• Have decent Excel/Sheets skills; bonus points if you’ve touched an ATS before
• Are the kind of person who keeps 15 tabs open and still finds the right one instantly (aka organised)

What's In It For You

• Real, full-cycle recruitment experience not just coffee runs
• Hands-on time with sourcing tools, ATS platforms, and job portals
