Interested in building real-world Human Resources experience? Join Rio Bank's HR team this winter and gain hands-on exposure to recruiting, HR technology, job descriptions, and other people-focused initiatives.

As an HR Intern, you'll work alongside our HR team and learn how the recruiting process works from the inside, from posting a position and reviewing applications to supporting hiring managers and communicating with candidates.

• Help create and post job openings in our applicant tracking system.
• Review applications against position qualifications and requirements.
• Help hiring managers keep candidates moving through the recruiting process.
• Assist with candidate communications and maintain recruiting pipeline reports.
• Help standardize and organize Rio Bank's job descriptions.
• Use AI-supported tools to develop initial KPI and competency recommendations for HR review.
• Help maintain the Bank's job description library and track work in progress.
• As time and interest allow, gain exposure to onboarding, new hire orientation, employee engagement, and culture initiatives.

By the end of the internship, you'll have practical experience with the recruiting lifecycle, applicant screening, HR technology, candidate and hiring-manager communication, recruiting reports, and job descriptions. You'll also see first-hand how an HR team supports employees and leaders across an organization.

This internship is ideal for Undergraduate Juniors and Seniors and Master's Students studying Human Resources, Business, or a related field. Students in other majors with a strong interest in HR are also encouraged to apply.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Organized, detail-oriented, and eager to learn.
• A strong written and verbal communicator.
• Professional and able to handle confidential information appropriately.
• Comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Microsoft 365.
• Interested in learning HR systems and AI-supported tools.
• Curious, dependable, and willing to take initiative.

The intern will report to the SEVP & Chief HR Officer and work closely with Rio Bank's Human Resources team. We understand that students have academic commitments and will provide reasonable scheduling flexibility around class schedules and the Christmas and New Year's holidays.
