Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
Zefir is hiring across Sales, Engineering, Product and Ops, and the Talent team is the engine behind it. You'll join as the first Talent Acquisition intern, working day to day with our Founding Talent Lead, in a team that reports directly to the CEO.
This is not an admin internship. You'll own real pipelines, talk to candidates every day, and help build the AI-powered recruiting machine we run on. By the end of the six months, you'll have recruited people who are still at Zefir years later.
