Great American is seeking a Recruiting Intern to join its Human Resources team. The Recruiting Intern will support key recruiting activities, assist with interview scheduling and video screens, and contribute to recruiting initiatives and events. This role provides hands-on exposure to talent acquisition processes while partnering with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates throughout the hiring lifecycle.

This hybrid internship is based in our downtown Cincinnati headquarters and is designed for a student who can work part-time during the fall and spring semesters, with the opportunity to transition to full-time hours during summer breaks. Interns are expected to work in the office Monday through Thursday when working full-time during the summer, consistent with the team's standard hybrid schedule. During the school year, we recognize the need for flexibility around academic commitments, but interns are expected to be onsite as much as possible based on their class schedules.

The ideal candidate is eager to learn, highly organized, and interested in building a career in Human Resources or Talent Acquisition. We are looking for individuals who are available for an immediate start.
