Talent Acquisition Intern

About UpStar

UpStar is a Skill-First, AI-powered hiring platform on a mission to transform how talent connects with opportunity. By combining intelligent skill validation, gamification, and personalized upskilling, we help job seekers know their skills, discover gaps, and grow faster while enabling employers to hire with confidence.

About the Role

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Intern who is passionate about rethinking hiring. Unlike traditional TA roles, this internship is not about filling positions. Instead, you'll be at the heart of designing and analyzing the job seeker journey from job circulars to application touch points. Your insights will directly shape the UpStar product experience, making hiring more transparent, skill-centric, and scalable through AI.

What You'll Do

• Research & Map Candidate Journeys: Study how job seekers interact with job postings and application processes; document their experiences, frustrations, and drop-off points.
• Design Applicant Journeys: Develop structured pathways that align with Skill-based scoring system, ensuring the candidate experience is intuitive and gamified.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate user insights into actionable product features.
• Explore AI & Automation: Identify opportunities where AI can optimize the talent acquisition process, improving scalability and efficiency.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience in Talent Acquisition strategy beyond recruiting focused on product and user experience.
• Exposure to AI-driven HRTech tools and frameworks (resume parsing, SOFA scoring, gamification, and more).
• Mentorship from the product and TA teams in building scalable, tech-first solutions.

• A front-row seat in building a SaaS product redefining hiring.

Who You Are

• A curious and analytical thinker, eager to explore how job seekers experience hiring.

• Interested in HRTech, product design, or AI-driven solutions.

• Strong communication and research skills to interact with job seekers and gather insights.
• Currently pursuing or recently completed studies in HR, Business, Psychology, or related fields.
• Excited to contribute to a mission-driven startup shaping the future of hiring.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send their resume along with a cover letter explaining why they believe they are a good fit for this role and what unique skills they bring to the position.
