Tiivistelmä
This is a Bachelor’s thesis written as a report-based paper or diary-based thesis. It de-scribes my internship activities and key reflections on what I learned during a three-month internship (18 February 2019 – 17 May 2019) at InterNations GmbH in Munich, Germany. I worked at InterNations GmbH as a Human Resources intern. My responsibilities ranged from attracting candidates to onboarding/off-boarding interns. Apart from interns’ recruit-ment and selection, I helped with preparation of on-site workshops, and participated in interview round for full-time candidates.
This paper consists of four chapters. In the introduction chapter, I familiarize readers with the diary-based thesis concept, explain why I chose this type of thesis and introduce the company and internship descriptions. The second chapter is theory on recruitment and selection. In this section, I explain the importance of recruitment, selection and induction theories before going into the details of recruitment and selection methods. To attract right candidates to apply, the company needs to have suitable methods for recruitment and selection. Then key activities will be discussed on a weekly basis through 13 weeks of internship in chapter three. Based on internship task report, I give my reflections upon my tasks and give suggestions for development. I conclude my personal insights of my learn-ing and suggestions for company improvement in the last chapter.
During my internship, I learnt about recruitment and selection procedures, as well as on-boarding and off-boarding employees. I had a chance to take part in interview rounds and coordinate interviews with candidates. InterNations has been doing recruitment procedures transparently and smoothly. They apply suitable recruitment and selection methods for the company. An improvement would be proper induction plan for new employees, with a view to better integrating them into company’s culture.
