ORGANIZATION

The Partnership for Public Service is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy. Central to this mission is our work to connect the government with those it serves by protecting it from harm and reimagining the way it works on behalf of the public.

Building on our over 20 years of experience, we:

  • Prepare civil servants to navigate an increasingly complex government environment
  • Educate and engage the public about the value of government and how eroding its capacity hurts communities nationwide
  • Collaborate with a range of stakeholders to advance bold reforms that seek to make our government institutions more effective, responsive and accountable to the American people
  • Equip and advise government leaders at the federal, state and local levels to develop critical skills for effective public service.

Our staff, diverse in experience and perspective, is mission-driven, creative, collaborative, optimistic and inclusive. Our work is strategic, fast-paced and guided by our values:

  • Passion for public service and our work toward more effective government
  • People who promote a culture of learning, leadership, collaboration, inclusion and respect
  • Persistence to drive change, take strategic risks and deliver results
  • Promise to be trustworthy, nonpartisan and fiscally responsible

We hire smart and friendly people who are great at what they do and good to one another in the process.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Human Resources team supports the Partnership’s people, processes and employee experience. The HR intern will have the opportunity to learn about core HR functions while providing administrative and project support across talent acquisition, onboarding, offboarding, training, records management and other HR processes.

The HR intern will assist with a variety of tasks, including:

  • Supporting the talent acquisition process by posting positions, organizing hiring materials, creating hiring project boards in Asana and assisting with candidate communications and interview resources.
  • Assisting with onboarding and offboarding processes, including preparing materials, updating checklists, organizing resources and maintaining related records.
  • Reviewing spreadsheets, trackers and HR documents for accuracy and helping maintain organized employee records and internal resources.
  • Supporting the preparation and production of HR-related trainings, including organizing materials, slide decks, handouts and follow-up resources.
  • Helping update templates, process documents and employee-facing resources, including materials related to benefits and other HR processes.
  • Providing general administrative and project support to the HR team and completing other duties as assigned.

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in learning more about human resources, nonprofit administration, talent acquisition, employee lifecycle processes and the systems that support a strong employee experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
