Working Student (f/m/d) – Talent Acquisition

Remote in our day-to-day work. On-site when it matters.

We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership. For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin or Cologne – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.

Architect the Next-Gen Talent Machine!

Let’s be honest: Most HR student jobs mean sorting CVs and pushing calendar invites.

We are building something bigger.

At smartclip, we are redefining Talent Acquisition. We aren't just filling roles; we are creating a high-performance "Recruiting Machine" for 2026 and beyond. Stop being a passive assistant and start being a co-creator of the future of hiring.

Instead of a long cover letter, show us your "greatest hits": a presentation about yourself, a project you're proud of, a creative branding idea, or a tool you've mastered. Show us that you don't just manage tasks – you deliver results. Proactive. Driven. Done.
