Recruitment intern

Join TOPdesk’s Recruitment Team and Help Build Great Candidate Experiences!

Are you interested in recruitment, HR, and working with people? As a Recruitment Intern (Watson), you'll play an active role in helping TOPdesk attract, hire, and onboard new colleagues. You'll work closely with recruiters, candidates, and hiring managers while gaining hands-on experience across recruitment, onboarding, and process improvement.

No two days are the same. One day you might be screening candidates or scheduling interviews, while the next you'll support onboarding, improve recruitment processes, or help represent TOPdesk at a campus event. From day one, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership and make a real contribution to the team.

What you'll do

In this role, you'll support our recruiters throughout the entire recruitment process while helping to create an excellent candidate experience.

You will:

• Support the recruitment process from A to Z together with our recruiters.
• Source and approach potential candidates for open positions.
• Screen candidates for junior-level roles and determine who moves forward in the process.
• Schedule interviews and coordinate communication between candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
• Conduct interviews for selected roles and support recruiters during hiring processes.
• Prepare contracts and support onboarding administration to ensure new colleagues have a smooth start at TOPdesk.
• Help maintain offer documentation, templates, and recruitment administration.
• Support campus recruitment activities and represent TOPdesk at career fairs, student events, and employer branding initiatives.
• Contribute to process improvement projects, such as:
  •  Keeping recruitment documentation and guides up to date.
  •   Supporting vacancy creation and job posting administration.
  •   Improving candidate communication and recruitment workflows.
  •   Identifying opportunities to make recruitment and onboarding processes more efficient.

During your onboarding, you'll get to know TOPdesk, our recruitment processes, and the tools we use. You'll be guided by experienced recruiters while also having the freedom to take initiative and develop your own ideas.

There's plenty of room to grow, whether that's developing your interviewing skills, learning more about recruitment, improving processes, or taking ownership of your own projects.

 Where you'll work
