Human Resources Placement

We are looking for eight high-calibre undergraduate students to join our Human Resources department on a 12 month placement. Whether you are looking to gain experience in Recruitment, Generalist HR, Talent Development, Training Delivery or Compensation and Benefits, we have a range of placements available within our highly talented team.

Hilton Work Perks

In addition to a competitive salary you will also receive a range of excellent benefits - probably the best of which is our Go Hilton Team Member Travel Program. This provides you with access to heavily reduced hotel room rates for you, your family & friends. Perfect for the holiday savvy intern!

In our Watford office you will also benefit from a subsidized canteen, free in- house gym and a games room. You will be part of a cohort of approximately 30 Interns who are spread across various departments, and will be involved in our unique intern programme. This includes monthly meetings and assignments which are designed to support your development.

A bit about the job(s)

As an intern, you will be an integral part of the team and will play an active role in our continued success. You will carry out a range of administrative/support activities, as well as having ownership of your own project based initiatives.

You will be asked to select your top three choices of HR Internship in order of preference, so here’s a bit about what each team does;

Talent Acquisition

The Talent Acquisition team support our corporate functions and hotels with all stages of recruitment activity across Europe, Middle East and Africa. This is a great opportunity to gain an understanding of the many processes involved in hiring for a range of different disciplines. As well as supporting with the delivery of our recruitment processes, you will also be our designated ‘systems expert’ and will provide management information and reports on recruitment activity as and when required. You will support with Recruitment events, such as Conferences and Assessment Centres, and will gain first hand insight into what it takes to build industry leading teams on an international scale.

Compensation

If numbers are your thing and you like working with data to tell the story behind it, compensation may just be the right field for you! The Compensation team determine how we reward our employees in a way which is competitive and fair, whilst controlling our costs. You will assist the area of Hotel Compensation for Europe with work related to annual activities and various projects. This might include supporting the compensation review process, salary surveys, and/or Total Reward Strategy by analysing, researching and modelling different sources of data. You will make recommendations on process improvements, assist in the development and delivery of presentations and communications to key regional stakeholders, and support with the delivery of the company bonus plans (amongst other things comp related!).

Benefits

Benefits at Hilton cover a broad spectrum from traditional insurances to health and wellbeing support. Our Europe team works at a strategic level to ensure we are providing a competitive range of benefits and policies that enable us to be an employer of choice. As an Intern, you will support the team with market research, design and implementation aspects of new benefits. You will use your creative skills to produce engaging communications for our Team Members, in addition to looking after our discount and recognition platform, Hilton Marketplace. Furthermore, you will liaise with providers and potential suppliers to source new offers. The benefits internship will give the successful candidate exposure to both project work and day-to-day activities, helping you to build transferable skills for your future career.

HR Consulting (Corporate)

This role is a great opportunity to get insight into the role of a HR Generalist in a matrix environment as it incorporates insight into all aspects of HR, offering a great breadth of experience in just 12 months. Some of your day to day tasks may include supporting with employee relations matters, assisting with HR and business data analysis, creating reports and presentations for internal and external audiences up to and including a senior level, and supporting the HR team with the coordination, communication and promotion of EMEA wide engagement and wellbeing initiatives (e.g. Thrive @ Hilton) for our Corporate Team Members.

HR (Focused Service Hotels)

Our Focused Service HR team is responsible for 55 open Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton by Hilton branded hotels across Europe, Middle East and Africa. In your role, you will be supporting the delivery of excellent team member experiences within these hotels, as well as getting involved with a range of tasks that help our hotels to operate successfully. This internship would ideally suit someone with a creative mind-set and a broader interest in hotel operations, in addition to Human Resources.

Learning & Talent Development

This is a great opportunity to experience both the operational (hotels) and corporate sides of the business. You will support with the administration of several internal development programmes and tracking systems, which includes answering queries and creating online evaluations. You will support the team with event bookings and organisation, and some of the projects you will get the opportunity to take part in are related to Apprenticeships, Social Media and Graduate on boarding.

Learning Delivery

As the name would suggest, the Learning Delivery team are responsible for delivering all brand related training to our corporate functions and all newly opening hotels across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions. The training will be a mixture of in-person and virtual, and as an Intern you will gain exposure to a diverse mix of brands and stakeholders. This is a small team who cover a large region, therefore would ideally suit someone who is comfortable working fairly independently. Some of your responsibilities will include managing participant and course evaluation experience for training courses, scheduling and managing Webinar courses, and you will also learn how to produce virtual instructor led courses.

• Must be in your second year of undergraduate study at the point of application
• Must be available to start in June 2020, for the full 12 months.
