Our mission is simple: to make hiring faster, smarter, and more human‑centric by turning raw data into actionable insights.
Why This Internship Matters
Data is the lifeblood of every AI model. The accuracy, consistency, and depth of the annotations you produce will directly influence the performance of our recruiting algorithms. As a Data Annotation Intern, you will be the first line of defense against data noise, ensuring that every field, table, and signature is captured with precision. This role is not glamorous, but it is essential. It offers a unique window into the inner workings of a venture‑backed startup and the chance to shape the foundation of a product that will touch millions of hiring professionals.
Key Responsibilities
- Document Annotation: Examine a variety of documents—resumes, cover letters, contracts, and more—and draw accurate bounding boxes around relevant regions such as fields, text blocks, tables, stamps, and signatures.
- Labeling & Classification: Assign the correct annotation label to each bounding box in strict adherence to the annotation guidelines.
- Quality Assurance: Maintain tight, consistent bounding boxes across thousands of documents, ensuring that the same standard is applied from the first to the last file.
- Edge‑Case Identification: Flag ambiguous or contradictory documents, and highlight gaps or inconsistencies in the guidelines for review.
- Self‑Review & Peer Review: Continuously review and correct your own annotations, and occasionally review colleagues’ work to uphold high quality.
- Process Improvement: Contribute ideas to streamline the annotation workflow, reduce errors, and increase throughput without compromising quality.
What You’ll Be Measured On
Success in this role is quantified by three core metrics: accuracy, consistency, and throughput. We care about the quality of the data you produce, not the number of hours you log. Your performance will be tracked against industry benchmarks and internal standards, and exceptional performers will be rewarded with a Permanent Position Offer (PPO) upon completion of the internship.
Essential Qualifications
- Strong attention to detail—able to maintain precision even after hundreds of annotations.
- Patience and persistence; comfortable with repetitive, screen‑heavy work.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Basic computer literacy: proficiency with Windows/macOS, MS Office, and web browsers.
- Self‑motivated and proactive; takes ownership of tasks and follows through without constant supervision.
- Ability to work a Monday–Saturday schedule with flexible hours to meet project deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with annotation tools such as Labelbox, CVAT, or similar platforms.
- Background in data entry, transcription, or quality assurance roles.
- Understanding of AI and machine learning concepts, especially in natural language processing.
- Prior exposure to the recruiting or HR technology space.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Precision & Accuracy: Ability to produce error‑free annotations consistently.
- Analytical Thinking: Quickly identify patterns, anomalies, and edge cases in documents.
- Time Management: Deliver high throughput while maintaining quality.
- Collaboration: Work effectively with cross‑functional teams—data scientists, product managers, and engineers.
- Adaptability: Adjust to evolving guidelines and new annotation categories.
