Intern-Field

Description

The internship splits time between sales and business development (60‑70%) and recruiting/talent sourcing (30‑40%). In sales, interns conduct outbound prospecting, support account executives with research and list building, make calls, craft outreach messages, and assist with proposals and presentations. In recruiting, they source candidates, conduct resume reviews and phone screens, support interview coordination, and learn the full recruiting process from client meetings to offer negotiations.

Interns participate in daily and weekly learning sessions covering sales tactics, recruiting best practices, and professional development. A capstone project is completed and presented at the program’s conclusion, and peers collaborate on group challenges and business simulations.
