About the Role

We are looking for an Intern - Candidate Support to help us manage candidate journeys with clarity, curiosity and care.

This is not a conventional Human Resources internship.

At Clear Bracket, we work closely with candidates across their hiring journey – from first contact to screening, interview coordination, selection updates and joining follow-ups.

We are looking for someone with strong English communication, a natural sense of connection with people, attention to detail and the discipline to work within structured systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage candidate communication across the hiring journey – from first contact to joining follow-ups.
• Conduct basic screening conversations and record candidate responses clearly.
• Maintain accurate candidate data, notes and status updates in the Zoho ecosystem.
• Coordinate interviews, follow-ups and process updates with candidates.
• Track daily candidate movement and drive successful outcomes.
• Work in close coordination with the founders on candidate experience, screening quality and process discipline.
• Ensure every candidate interaction feels transparent, timely and respectful.

What matters most to us is:

• Strong written and verbal communication
• Comfort with audio and video conversations
• Warmth, maturity and genuine curiosity in understanding candidate aspirations
• Ability to listen carefully and ask clear follow-up questions
• Comfort with data entry, tracking and daily reporting

Good to Have

• Prior exposure to recruitment, admissions, counselling, customer support, community management or operations
• Comfort with spreadsheets, Customer Relationship Management tools or applicant tracking systems
• Interest in design, architecture, creative careers or talent development

Growth Pathway

This role will begin as a 3 to 4-month internship, designed to help both sides assess fit, consistency and ownership.

For candidates who show seriousness, the role may be extended into a 12-month full-time foundation role with Clear Bracket.

During this journey, you will work closely with the Founders, learn Clear Bracket's hiring approach.

For someone who performs with consistency and care, this can grow into a larger role across candidate evaluation, client coordination, recruitment operations or talent intelligence within Clear Bracket.
