The purpose of the Talent Acquisition SkillBridge Internship is to develop a highly skilled recruiting professional capable of sourcing, screening, and recommending top talent to hiring managers. The intern will gain hands-on experience with sourcing platforms, applicant tracking systems, and hiring procedures to ensure mission-ready personnel placement across contract and internal support roles.
The Talent Acquisition Intern will train under Cydecor's Recruiting and HR teams to learn the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle. This includes sourcing candidates using platforms like LinkedIn, ClearanceJobs, and Indeed; screening applicants; coordinating with Program Managers; and managing the hiring process in the Taleo Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The intern will also gain experience drafting offer letters and supporting onboarding processes. By the end of the program, the intern will be prepared to function as a Recruiter/Talent Acquisition Specialist

Interview prep for this program▸
- ▸ "How many of your past SkillBridge interns received full-time offers?" — a serious program knows the number.
- ▸ "Who will my day-to-day mentor be, and what does week one look like?"
- ▸ "The listing says 151 - 180 days — can that flex to my approved window if my command shortens it?"
- ▸ "Is relocation expected for a full-time offer, or can I convert where I am?"
- ▸ "You list 8411, 8412, 79R — what did interns from those specialties end up doing here?"
- ▸ Confirm the eligibility notes above — ask exactly what they need from you and when.
- ✓ Your projected start window and separation date (from your profile)
- ✓ Your command's approval status — even "packet drafted" signals you're serious
- ✓ Your civilian-translated resume bullets (generate them here)
- ✓ A written training-plan ask — you'll need it for your packet anyway
