Talent Scout Intern($300-$500/Month): Stack Shift

Job Description

Hi there! I’m Chris, the founder of Stack Shift. We’re a recruiting agency focused on remote work. We help talent in Africa connect with remote jobs. We also help startups (mostly in the USA) build distributed teams through Sourcing Sprints.

We’re looking to grow and are adding interns to our sourcing team. As a talent scout intern, you’ll be focused on sourcing talent for hiring partners.

Location: Remote-first. Anywhere in Nigeria.

Pay: $300 / month plus a $500 bonus when you source a candidate that gets hired by a client

Commitment: Part-time, limited to students still in school or university.

About the Role

As a Talent Scout Intern, you’ll help our full-time team run Sourcing Sprints, where we find and reach out to candidates on behalf of clients (primarily early stage, US-based startup founders). We typically work on tech centric roles across software, hardware, growth, product, and design.

You work will primarily involve sourcing, qualifying, and reaching out to high potential candidates

Who you are

To be eligible for this role you should still be in school or university. We’ll teach you everything you need to know and are optimizing for aptitude over previous experience. However, we’re looking for someone who is:

Organized and analytical. You love to work with data, solve puzzles, and have extremely high attention to detail.

Tech-savvy. You’ve taught yourself hard, technical things previously. Some of our most successful sourcers were software developers previously. Fluency with spreadsheets is also a must.

Excellent communicator. You can speak clearly and confidently with clients. Your written work is free of typos.

Impact Minded. As a company, we care a lot about training and personal development. Outside of sourcing, you will also contribute to our impact programs.

Requirements

Attend and complete Sourcing Camp. Before joining us, you’ll need to pass Sourcing Camp. It’s a free, 6-week practical course designed for you to try sourcing for the first time.

Have a functional laptop. Sourcing will require time spent in front of a laptop. Please have access to a personal laptop for project work and staying connected with the team.

Benefits of Working at Stack Shift

Remote work flexibility. We operate remote-first, although most of our team meets up one day a week at our office in Lekki Phase 1. Commuting + lunch costs are covered.

Fun colleagues who want to see you succeed and grow.

An amazing network. You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with the leaders of global startups along with top talent.

A professional work environment dedicated to your growth. We have a monthly book club, tons of internal trainings and spend a lot of time talking about personal development.
