Human Resources Intern

“I am having the best time at Speakap! During my internship I learned a lot about HR and developed my skills regarding communication, recruitment, administration, organizing events and other HR activities. Because of this internship, I realized that HR is the career path I want to follow and I am excited for what comes next. Moreover, Speakap has a great and genuine company culture - everyone is incredibly kind and helpful and I feel really valued within the team. I did not feel like just an intern, but a true member of the team.” -

Naomie, current HR operations intern.

“My HR internship in talent management provided invaluable experience in contributing to various stages and areas of HR. I appreciated the opportunity to create actionable strategies aligned with company goals, which deepened my understanding of the importance of talent management for organizational success. I am grateful for the connections I made with people from different backgrounds, and feel prepared to continue my journey in HR with the skills and knowledge gained from this internship”-
