Project Content
Our mission is to increase fairness in job interviews, decrease biases, and increase diversity in organizations. We build a video interviewing platform that provides a superior experience for both the candidate and the interviewer.

The research project is focused on the commercialization of the innovative product that Talentrify develops. Therefore we need to educate decision-makers about the potential of decreasing biases in job interviews and effectively communicate Talentrify’s value proposition. 
The project includes the development of Talentrify’s go-to-market strategy based on sales and marketing research as well as based on best practices from leading technology organizations. 
Tasks for Interns
This project is key to Talentrify’s success. Therefore, you will define together with the founders how to best contribute your strengths and scientific and practical knowledge to the grand goal. 
We want to make the internship as impactful as possible for you and for Talentrify. 

Exemplary tasks can include: 
  • building a reusable design in the front end where you decide how to structure our code most
  • efficiently setting up CI/CD for a system where you are asked to automate as much as possible 
  • building a robust event consumer for a backend system where you decide on transactions and locking

Your work will be biased towards topics depending on your interests and strengths. 
Academic Level
Advanced undergraduate students (from third year)

Requirements
  • Self-taught engineers or computer science students with fundamental knowledge of software engineering 
  • Motivation to take ownership of parts of the application in a young and dynamic environment 
  • Ideally: working experience in software development 
  • Strong willingness to learn 
  • Strong communication skills 

We encourage you to apply based on your motivation even if you do not fulfil all requirements. The core goal is to commercialize Talentrify’s innovation and there are many ways to leverage your unique skills. 
Expected Preparation
In the weeks before the internship starts, we will develop a mutual plan together with you. In this discussion, we would like to discover your interests, what you want to learn, and how you can contribute best to the project based on your unique skills, interest, and experiences.
