Job Title:
Project Intern – Talent Pipeline & Operational Recruiting Strategy

Overview
The Project Intern will play a key role in supporting our Operational Leaders by building a sustainable, relationship-driven recruiting structure. This internship focuses on identifying, attracting, and engaging top frontline and operational talent through creative, non-traditional recruiting strategies. The intern will develop a scalable plan for ongoing hiring, training, and bench-building efforts that strengthen our talent pipeline across the market.

Objective
To create a comprehensive and actionable strategy that enables operational teams to:

• Source and attract the right talent efficiently and proactively.
• Build and maintain relationships with local organizations and talent pipelines.
• Establish a sustainable "always recruiting" culture.
• Develop a framework to create and maintain a strong internal and external bench of future talent.

Key Responsibilities

• Talent Strategy & Documentation: Develop a support document and toolkit outlining recruiting best practices for Operations Leaders — including sourcing strategies, community engagement, interview planning, and candidate experience standards.
• Creative Recruiting Channels: Identify and evaluate recruiting opportunities beyond traditional job boards (e.g., partnerships with local organizations, community groups, technical schools, sports teams, fraternities/sororities, and workforce development programs).
• Campus & Community Engagement: Partner with universities, colleges, and vocational schools to create internship, part-time, and full-time pipelines. Build relationships with campus career centers, student groups, and athletic departments.
• Event Planning & Participation: Research and recommend job fairs, community events, and career expos that align with our target frontline and leadership roles. Suggest creative ways to engage attendees and showcase our brand.
• Recruitment Marketing Support: Identify niche websites, industry-specific boards, and social platforms where frontline and entry-level candidates are active. Draft posting strategies and recommend ways to increase visibility and engagement.
• Relationship Building: Cultivate relationships with external partners and internal teams to create ongoing recruiting opportunities. Develop a roadmap for operational leaders to maintain and grow these networks long-term.
• Operational Bench Building: Create a structured plan and visual guide for leaders to track potential candidates, internal talent, and external prospects — supporting proactive hiring and reducing time-to-fill.

Deliverables

• Comprehensive Operational Recruiting Playbook (including best practices, resources, and templates).
• Database of recommended partnerships, schools, and organizations to engage for recruiting.
• Calendar of upcoming job fairs, campus events, and community networking opportunities.
• Posting strategy for niche and high-impact job boards and online communities.
• A bench-building framework or template for operations leaders to manage ongoing pipelines.
