Junior HR & Business Support Associate
People & HR, Customer Service
Bern, Switzerland
🚀 We're Hiring! Junior HR & Business Support Associate 🚀
We're looking for a Junior HR & Business Support Associate to help us find the people who'll build our future and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From sourcing and screening candidates to day-to-day Finance and HR admin, you will have an impact from day one, backed by real trust and an experienced team.
Based in our Bern office, we are part of a company that plays in the big leagues, with headquarters in the US: international, fast-moving, and finally a place to put your English to daily use. The best ideas win here, whether they come from the CEO or the intern. Flat hierarchies, real drive, and work that's actually fun.
About the Role
You'll drive the day-to-day recruiting process for open roles, with guidance and support from senior management and senior team members along the way: screening candidates, proactively reaching out to strong profiles, and sharing curated shortlists with management. Your job is to find and hunt down the strongest candidates in the world for these roles. We're only as good as our team, so we're always aiming for the best of the best.
Beyond recruiting, you'll help build and refine the process itself, together with senior management. We want someone who doesn't just fill a pipeline but helps design a recruiting workflow that's lean and efficient without cutting corners on quality, the kind of process that keeps working even when things get busy. And here's the exciting part: you'll also help shape why people stay. That means organising team events, helping define and improve our culture, and gathering employee feedback through surveys and then acting on it.
On top of recruiting, you'll also take on simple, recurring HR and Finance processes like reviewing expense reports or checking travel bookings, with support from the team whenever you need it. Nothing complex, but tasks that need someone reliable who can just take care of them.
Key Responsibilities
- Own candidate screening and managing the recruiting pipeline for open roles, with guidance from senior management.
- Proactively identify, contact, and reach out to the best fitting candidates.
- Share curated CVs and shortlists with management.
- Work with hiring managers to define a clear scorecard/raster for each role's requirements.
- Help drive retention and culture: organize proactive team meetings and events and run employee surveys to gather and act on feedback.
- Take on simple, recurring international HR processes and recurring Finance processes, such as reviewing expense reports and checking travel bookings.
- We're already exploring how to automate our processes with AI. If that's something you're interested in and can help drive, that's a big plus.
What You Will Learn
At Realwear, you're expected to deliver a lot but you're also given a lot of freedom in how you get there. In just a few months, you'll learn what would take years at another company.
This role is demanding and requires flexibility and autonomy. In return, you'll gain hands-on ownership of full-cycle recruiting at a fast-growing technology company meaning sourcing, screening, process design, and direct communication with management along with practical exposure to international HR and Finance operations.
What We Are Looking For
- Excellent English
- Prior experience or a completed internship in recruiting, HR, or a related field is a plus, but not required
- Very strong organizational skills and ability to take your own initiative
- Confidence reaching out to candidates directly and representing RealWear well
- A structured, process-oriented mindset
- Reliability and attention to detail
Why Join Us?

And because work should feel good too: free snacks in the office, a sports contribution, a table football table that's always up for a challenge and most important a kick-ass team that makes everyday worth fighting for!
