About Tagalys

Tagalys is a visual merchandising platform for fashion and lifestyle eCommerce brands, working with global names like Fila, Crocs, and Lovisa, driven by a tight-knit team that values ownership, transparency, and balance. As a bootstrapped company with a global presence, the culture rewards initiative and collaboration while providing space to grow with meaningful, people-first practices. 

Why This Role Exists

Right now, sourcing kicks off only after a role opens — which means we're always playing catch-up. Slower time-to-hire, pressure on hiring managers, and the risk of losing strong candidates. This role exists to change that.

We're building a proactive, always-on talent engine. Not a spreadsheet. Not a reactive pipeline. A structured, function-wise pool of great people who are ready when we need them.

The HR team owns ops, compliance, performance cycles, and engagement — they can't also own pipeline creation consistently. This intern will own it, end to end.
