Our Intern Program
About our Intern Program
North Line Partners is proud to have an internship program. Most of us were interns, hence we believe these internships enrich us as an organization, and in return, we hope the introduction we can provide interns to the business world is equally fulfilling.
Because we are a smaller organization, interns will be exposed to a wide range of business issues – but with a primary focus on how companies make decisions about key leadership. As a boutique firm, we have developed deep partnerships with some of the world’s leading corporations and private equity firms.
Interns will help companies recruit to well defined roles, as well as still evolving roles within early stage start-up companies. From a task perspective, interns will support the process of identifying potential candidates, researching companies, evaluating professional skills, and supporting the day-to-day operational needs of our business. Some of this can be routine. Most is not.
Qualitative Requirements
North Line is a high performing, fast paced, and client focused environment. We work smart.
Potential interns should be tech/web savvy, have solid research and solution solving skills, understand professional and social media, and have strong written and oral communication abilities. Listening skills are also required to perform this role, as well as absolute attention to detail, and strong organizational skills. Candidates must also be willing to do whatever job is given to him/her. No task is too big or too small. Candidates must be incredibly self-confident, enjoy interacting with people, have a desire to learn, and have a passion for global business.
Educational Requirements
To be considered for our intern program, a candidate must currently be enrolled as a student (college junior or senior) in a public or private accredited institution. Interns do not necessarily have to receive credit for participation. We realize this is not always possible.
