Recruitment Intern - Summer

The Internship Program with WPS Health Solutions is comprised of two key components.
The first component involves gaining practical experience to supplement academic coursework and prepare for future career pursuits. This will be comprised of a hands‑on role within a functional area related to a relevant field of study. Each internship incorporates responsibilities and tasks which support the business objectives and client service offerings, while providing ongoing collaboration with experienced departmental colleagues and exposure to "real world" business demands.

The second element centers on exposure to corporate culture and professional development. Interns will participate in discussions focused on building soft‑skills and business acumen. This intern will gain hands‑on experience in the recruiting process, assist with the coordination of candidate communication, and support the development and execution of recruiting workflows. This internship provides an opportunity to work closely with a dynamic team, learn key aspects of talent acquisition, and help streamline the recruiting process for future talent acquisition efforts.

You will contribute to the recruiting process, from understanding hiring needs to ensuring smooth candidate interactions, while learning the skills and practices that drive successful recruiting strategies.
