HR Working Student

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Working Student to join our HR team for up to 20 hours per week alongside your studies.

This is not a traditional internship, but an ongoing part-time opportunity designed to provide meaningful hands-on experience in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition.

The primary focus of this role will be active sourcing—identifying and engaging potential candidates for our open positions. In addition, the successful candidate will gain broader exposure to recruitment processes, HR administration, employer branding, and people-related initiatives.

What we offer

• Real hands-on experience with a strong focus on active sourcing and talent acquisition
• Mentorship and coaching from an experienced HR team committed to your development
• Genuine opportunity for long-term growth as your studies progress
• Competitive hourly rate
• Commission for every successful hire generated through your sourcing efforts
• Flexible working hours to accommodate university schedules and exam periods
• Exposure to modern HR systems, recruitment tools, and people strategies
• Potential opportunity for long-term employment based on performance and business needs

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate records of sourcing activities, candidate interactions, and pipeline status within BambooHR and other recruitment systems
• Continuously monitor the market to identify where the best candidates can be found and the most effective ways to approach them

HR Support (Remaining Time)

• Support the HR team with day-to-day operational tasks, including onboarding coordination, document preparation, and general HR administration
• Assist in organising recruitment activities such as career fairs, university events, and employer branding initiatives
• Maintain HR data, candidate databases, and recruitment reports
• Contribute to ad hoc HR projects across talent acquisition, employee engagement, and learning & development
• Provide general support to HR colleagues on time-sensitive priorities when required

Required Skills & Attributes

• Currently enrolled at university, ideally in a Business, Psychology, HR, or related field.
• Available to work 20 hours per week consistently alongside your studies.
