This is a six-month, full-time internship based in Milan.
What you'll be doing
- Support end-to-end recruitment, including job postings, CV screening, interview scheduling, candidate communication and pipeline updates.
- Conduct first-round interviews in English and Italian under the guidance of the People Team, including for technical roles (e.g. Data Engineers, API Developers, QA Engineers, Data Scientists).
- Maintain accurate recruiting data and prepare regular updates on open positions, pipeline progress and candidate drop-off reasons.
- Coordinate mandatory training in Italy, managing enrolments, deadlines, reminders and tracking.
- Coordinate occupational health appointments in Italy, handling scheduling and employee communication in collaboration with external providers.
- Support onboarding and offboarding,
employee documentation and HRIS data maintenance.

This role will be a great fit if you
- Are completing or have recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human Resources, Psychology, Labour Studies, Business Administration or a related field.

- Communicate clearly and professionally with candidates, employees, managers and external providers.
- Have a proactive, curious mindset and feel comfortable asking questions and suggesting improvements.
