Develop marketing or research expertise in an internship at Charles Aris

Charles Aris Inc. has been meeting mission-critical talent search and recruitment needs since 1969. To assist in our search for A-level talent, we offer year-round paid internships in our knowledge management and recruiting departments. We pride ourselves on tailoring this hands-on internship experience to each student’s skills and growth potential.

What is knowledge management?

Knowledge management revolves around the creation, sharing and use of relevant information in a timely manner. At Charles Aris, knowledge flows through our expert research, marketing and digital teams and initiatives. We offer marketing and research internships with these experiences in mind:

Marketing

Our marketing team promotes brand recognition; creates deliverables for clients and candidates; and uses inbound marketing software to support the firm’s business development initiatives. As a Charles Aris marketing intern, you won’t spend your days fetching coffee and making copies; instead, you’ll have ample opportunity to:

• design infographics and marketing campaigns with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
• create promotional videos with PremierePro
• craft social media posts for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+
• contribute to our Thought Leadership Blog and a quartet of newsletters
• update our website and proprietary software applications
• work with and earn certifications in HubSpot, our marketing automation software
• and work with an awesome team of talented individuals!

As we enter our 50th anniversary year in 2019, the firm’s marketing team will be placing a special emphasis on compelling videography and engaging graphic design. With that in mind, marketing intern candidates with advanced skills in the visual arts will be given special consideration.

Caitlyn Banks, a second-year MBA candidate at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, reflected on her experience as a 2018 marketing intern with the Charles Aris knowledge management team.

“My marketing internship allowed me to learn new skills such as Photoshop and copywriting, both of which will be invaluable for my future career in social media and digital marketing,” Banks said. “The team was so supportive and gave me the feedback and advice I needed to grow as a young professional.”

Research

Our research team fuels the firm by identifying qualified talent; managing a database of 300,000 contacts; and distributing contextualized data to colleagues who work as practice leaders and associate recruiters. As a research intern, your hands-on experience will include:

• finding A-level talent for a variety of Charles Aris client organizations
• identifying hiring authorities with urgent human capital needs
• putting the two together on a cutting-edge talent intelligence platform
• capturing and analyzing firmwide data on the fly
• working with an awesome team of talented individuals!

Carly Sprinkles, a two-time Charles Aris research intern who joined the full-time research team after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, highly values the internship program.

“Interning with Charles Aris offered me widespread exposure – to the executive search industry and international business – that I otherwise would not have gotten,” Sprinkles said. “This, along with the opportunity to work alongside and learn from mentors such as research manager Ben Wolf and senior researcher Varina Keeling-Herrera, made it an easy decision to join the team as a full-time researcher come graduation. It was, without a doubt, the best decision I could have made for my professional and personal development.”
