About Runway
Runway helps college students and recent grads in the US land internships and their first job. We find new roles straight from company career sites, match them to each student’s resume, and alert them before the listing hits LinkedIn or Handshake. We’ve grown from 0 to 200,000 users in about a year, and most of that growth comes from our Growth Interns: US college students who post about Runway on LinkedIn, TikTok and Instagram and get paid for every student they bring in.
About the role
You’ll own hiring for the Growth Intern Program from start to finish: attracting applicants, screening them, interviewing them, and getting the people you hire posting in their first week. We start a new cohort every Monday, so this is a fast, weekly cycle.
This is not an admin role. We don’t measure you by how many interviews you run. We measure you by how many of your hires show up, post 5 times a week, and bring in students who sign up. One great hire is worth more than five who never post.
What you’ll do
Source applicants: write and promote our intern job posts on LinkedIn (company-paid budget), and find strong candidates at US colleges
Screen applications against clear criteria: how they write, their social media presence, how consistent they are, and why they want the role
Run 15-minute video interviews and decide who to hire. You’re trusted to make the call.
Keep your pipeline moving: follow up quickly, send offers and rejections, and track every candidate so no one falls through the cracks
Get new interns started: offer letters, onboarding materials, and a nudge in week one so they actually make their first posts
Check in on how your hires are doing, and use what you learn to hire better next week
What success looks like each week
150 applicants in your pipeline per week
20 interviews per week
10 new interns starting on Monday
Your interns posting consistently and bringing in signups weeks after they start
