What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Acquisition Intern position at FreshDirect?
Brief Description
About Us
At FreshDirect, we are reinventing the grocery experience.
Since day one, our mission has been simple: bring the best, freshest food directly from the farm to people’s homes — faster, fresher, and smarter than anyone else.
We’re not just a food company. We’re a technology-powered, customer-obsessed team building one of the most innovative end-to-end food supply chains in the industry. From proprietary routing systems to our state-of-the-art fulfillment center, every part of our business is designed to deliver unmatched quality, convenience, and care.
We partner directly with farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source the highest quality ingredients — then use smart data, automation, and logistics to deliver them at peak freshness.
It’s grocery shopping reimagined — and we’re just getting started.
If you’re passionate about innovation, care deeply about what people eat, and want to help build the future of food, we’d love to meet you.
The Role
FreshDirect is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic HR Talent Acquisition Intern to support our Talent Acquisition team. Reporting directly to the Senior Talent Acquisition Manager, this internship offers hands-on experience in full-cycle recruiting, candidate coordination, employer branding, recruiting operations, and Talent Acquisition projects within a fast-paced, high-volume environment. The ideal candidate is highly organized, people-oriented, and eager to learn about recruiting and human resources.
