• Shadow senior recruiters and learn how client briefs turn into hiring strategies
• Maintain candidate databases, trackers, and basic recruitment reports

What You'll Bring

• Genuine interest in creative fields (design, content, or marketing)
• Strong written communication — clear, warm, and professional

• Self-starter mindset — comfortable in a remote, async environment
• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in HR, Business, Marketing, or Communications

What You'll Get

• Hands-on experience with live client mandates — not mock projects
• Mentorship from experienced recruiters in the creative industry
• Verified internship certificate
• Pre-placement offer (PPO) consideration for high performers
• Remote-first flexibility — results over hours
• A front-row seat at one of India's fastest-growing talent platforms
