Company mission
To help everyone find the right job to live a fulfilling life.
Role
Who you are
- University Enrollment & German Proficiency: Currently enrolled at a German university with fluency in German (at least C1 level) - as it is the primary working language in this role
- Curiosity and Initiative: Eagerness to learn, experiment, and suggest improvements - particularly around AI-assisted workflows
- Proactive Ownership: Independently clarifies tasks, drives projects forward with minimal guidance, and stays focused even when requirements are unclear or priorities shift
- Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in working with qualitative and quantitative data to draw actionable conclusions
- Strong Communication Skills: Ability to articulate findings clearly and concisely to diverse stakeholders
- Collaborative Spirit: Works well across functions, ensuring research informs product decisions end-to-end
- Empathy for Users: Strong instinct for understanding user needs and advocating for them within the product team
What the job involves
- As a Working Student on our Recruiter Product team, you will be the driving force behind our product discovery - conducting user research, market analysis, and competitor research that directly shapes what we build
- This isn't a passive support role: you'll run interviews, document findings, and translate them into actionable insights that influence our product roadmap
- As you grow, you'll take ownership of initiatives that emerge from your research, acting as the PM for these workstreams in collaboration with our UX Design and Engineering teams
- You'll gain hands-on product management experience at a time when you can actively shape our roadmap and explore what AI-powered product management looks like in practice
- AI-First Workflows: You'll leverage tools like Claude Code and Langdock to automate and enhance research and PM processes, and push the boundaries of what AI-powered product management can look like
- User Research: Plan, conduct, and document user interviews and surveys with recruiters and employers to uncover pain points, workflows, and unmet needs
- Research Synthesis: Translate interview transcripts and research data into structured, actionable insights and recommendations that product teams can act on
- Market & Competitor Research: Analyse the competitive landscape to identify where HeyJobs leads, where we lag, and where opportunities exist - keeping the team informed on market trends
- Data Analysis: Collect and analyse qualitative and quantitative data to support product decisions, including post-launch impact assessments
- Knowledge Management: Build and maintain organised research repositories so insights are accessible and reusable across teams
- Own Initiatives: Over time, take the lead on product initiatives that emerge from your research - defining scope, collaborating with UXD and Engineering, and driving them to delivery
Our take
For a long time, recruitment has relied on the same outdated processes and job boards. HeyJobs leverages machine learning to modernise the sector with a self-learning algorithm that matches workers with jobs that fit their profile. It also optimises job adverts, saving employers money on their advertising spend.
HeyJobs is now used by enterprises such as Sky, PayPal, Allianz and Motel One among many others, and over 750,000 people have found jobs through the platform. Its success in breaking into a market dominated by large incumbents like TotalJobs and Indeed is a testament to the ability of its cutting edge product to match talent to opportunities.
The company has accrued impressive funding, which has enabled it to invest heavily in developing its AI and expanding into new markets. Despite success, in 2025 it had to cut jobs and shut locations - though this likely resulted from poor economic conditions rather than the company's missteps.
