The Talent Acquisition Internship

What do the Talent Acquisition team do?

The Talent Acquisition team is tasked with attracting, sourcing and acquiring the best talent. The team manages the end to end recruitment process, advising on best practice, designing the most appropriate attraction and sourcing strategies and ensuring that managers and candidates receive a first-class experience.

 What would I be doing in Talent Acquisition?

During an internship here you’ll help the team implement two projects. The first is to help create an interview toolkit, to be used by all hiring managers across Wellcome. This will allow consistency, alignment with our principles and help create interview best practices to allow consistency and mitigate reputational risk. You will also support the team to build their brand internally (across Wellcome employees and managers) as well as externally (across candidates and external partners), by documenting and describing our processes in a way that is easy to understand and follow. You will also create a feedback survey for managers, partners and candidates.

 What skills/ experience do I need to work in this role?
