Talent Acquisition Intern — Talent Engineering & Recruitment Automation

About the role

This is a 6 month opportunity based in Berlin (hybrid). You'll get hands-on experience across the full recruitment lifecycle — sourcing, screening, scheduling, and supporting offer processes — directly contributing to Upvest's ambitious growth targets.

What you'll do

• Support our hiring engine across the full recruitment lifecycle — sourcing, screening, scheduling, and supporting offer processes
• Build and own recruitment automations by designing, testing, and iterating on AI-powered workflows that reduce manual work across the TA team
• Research, evaluate, and put to work the latest AI sourcing and candidate engagement tools to help find niche talent faster and more creatively
• Document and scale what works so the whole team can use it, building a playbook rather than fixing one-off problems

What you'll need

• Genuine curiosity about AI and automation — you should experiment with new tools and get excited about making processes smarter
• Some exposure to recruitment or HR, whether through internship, university projects, or personal interest
• Comfort working with data — you can build a basic dashboard and spot what the numbers are telling you
• Strong written communication — you write clearly, adapt your tone, and make outreach feel personal at scale
• A builder's mindset — you'd rather automate a repetitive task than do it manually, and you're not afraid to test and iterate
• Familiarity with an ATS (Ashby experience is a plus) and interest in how recruitment tooling works
• Proactiveness and ownership — you'll bring ideas, flag problems, and drive your own workstreams with support

What they offer

• Impact-driven work building infrastructure for the future of investing in Europe
• Personalized mental health and leadership support via Nilo
• Up&Comers club connecting you with early-career professionals for networking and learning
• Employee Resources Groups fostering inclusion and community
• Company-wide events including UpFest, dinners, offsites and Holiday party
