Recruiting Intern

ZOVU is a global online startup building the Operating System for the modern restaurant.

We are on a mission to unify the fragmented hospitality industry. Our vision is simple: One OS that covers everything a restaurant needs—Point of Sale, Loyalty Systems, Reservations, Staff Planning, and a Customer App.

We are disrupting the industry by saying "No" to expensive monthly contracts. While competitors charge high SaaS fees, ZOVU operates on a partnership model: we charge strictly a transaction margin on sales. We only grow when our customers grow.

We operate as a fully remote, global team at the start of an exciting journey, adding new features and growing rapidly.

At ZOVU, we're all about supporting you! We're committed to making our hiring process inclusive.

If you're ready to hustle and help build an exceptional global team from the ground up, we want you on board.

And remember: we don't expect you to meet every requirement. If you're excited by this role and the Horeca industry, we encourage you to apply!

The Role

We're looking for an ambitious, people-oriented Recruiting Intern to join our global team.

This isn't a role where you'll simply schedule interviews or shadow recruiters—you'll become an active part of our hiring process from day one. You'll identify great talent, conduct first-round interviews, communicate with candidates throughout the recruitment process, and help build teams across every department, including Technology, Sales, Operations, Marketing, Customer Success, and more.

You'll work closely with leadership while gaining hands-on recruiting experience in a fast-growing international startup. You'll learn how to evaluate talent, create an outstanding candidate experience, and contribute directly to building the people who will shape ZOVU's future.

This is a 100% remote role (minimum 32 hours per week). You manage your own schedule, take ownership of your work, and thrive in an environment where initiative is valued.

What Excites You

• Finding great people: You genuinely enjoy connecting with others and identifying talented individuals who are the right fit.
• Conducting interviews: You want real recruiting experience by leading first-round interviews and evaluating candidates across multiple functions.
• Building relationships: You enjoy communicating with candidates, keeping them informed throughout the hiring process, and creating a positive experience.
• Global recruiting: You're excited about interviewing candidates from different countries, cultures, and professional backgrounds.
• Startup life: You want to contribute to a fast-growing company where your work has a direct impact on building the team.

What Excites Us

• People-first mindset: You're currently studying or recently graduated in Human Resources, Psychology, Business, Communications, or a related field—but your attitude and willingness to learn matter most.
• Excellent communication: You're fluent in English and communicate confidently, professionally, and empathetically with candidates cross culturally.
• Strong judgment: You're curious, ask thoughtful questions, and enjoy learning what makes someone a great fit for a role.
• Organization: You're able to manage multiple candidates, interviews, and follow-ups while staying detail-oriented.
• Ownership: You work independently, stay organized, and take responsibility for your work without constant supervision.
• Adaptability: You're comfortable working in a startup where priorities evolve quickly and every day brings something new.

Your Responsibilities

• Source and screen candidates for positions across multiple departments.
• Conduct first-round interviews and evaluate candidate fit.
• Coordinate interviews with hiring managers and company leadership.
• Maintain accurate candidate records within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Communicate professionally with candidates throughout every stage of the hiring process.
• Help improve recruiting processes and contribute ideas for attracting top talent.
• Support onboarding activities for successful candidates when needed.

More about the role

• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in the world. Digital nomad friendly.
• Real Recruiting Experience: Conduct interviews, evaluate candidates, and play an active role in hiring decisions.
• Global Exposure: Recruit candidates from around the world while working with an international team.
• Startup Speed: No corporate bureaucracy. Your ideas are heard and implemented quickly.
• Career Growth: Gain practical recruiting experience that will strengthen your HR or Talent Acquisition career.

Life at ZOVU

We are a global online organization that needs passionate people who are ready to build.

We move fast, take ownership, and support one another while creating products that are changing the hospitality industry. Every hire matters, and as part of our recruiting team, you'll help shape the future of our company.

If you're excited to help us build a world-class team and revolutionize the Horeca industry, we'd love to meet you.

The Proving Ground

At ZOVU, we believe the best way to learn is by doing.

This internship begins with a 3-month unpaid proving ground , designed to provide meaningful, hands-on recruiting experience while allowing both you and ZOVU to determine whether we're the right long-term fit.

From day one, you'll work on real hiring projects, conduct interviews, communicate with candidates, and contribute directly to building our global team. This is not shadowing or administrative work—you'll gain genuine recruiting experience and ownership of your responsibilities.

Successful interns who demonstrate strong performance, initiative, and alignment with our values will be considered for a long-term opportunity as ZOVU continues to grow.
