Growth & User Acquisition Intern (SaaS)

About RecruitOwl

RecruitOwl is building a platform to simplify recruitment for independent recruiters and recruitment agencies. Our goal is to make candidate intake, screening, and interview scheduling simpler and more efficient.

We're at an early stage, which means you'll have the opportunity to work directly with the founder and contribute to customer acquisition and business growth.

About the role

We're looking for a Growth & User Acquisition Intern to bring RecruitOwl its first paying users. You will work directly with the founder and own the full path from finding a recruiter to getting them to pay.

To be clear about the day-to-day: most of this role is direct sales. You will identify recruiters, reach out to them one by one, run product demos, follow up, and convert interested recruiters into paying users. It is not a content, social media or brand marketing role.

This role suits someone who enjoys talking to people, is comfortable with rejection, and wants hands-on experience acquiring customers for a SaaS product from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Identify independent recruiters, freelance recruiters, and recruitment agencies across India who could use RecruitOwl.
• Build and maintain a database of potential customers using LinkedIn and other relevant platforms.
• Reach out to prospects through LinkedIn, email, calls, and other approved channels.
• Introduce RecruitOwl, understand customer needs, and communicate the product's value.
• Schedule and conduct online product demonstrations.
• Follow up with interested prospects and support the process of converting leads into paying customers.
• Help new customers get started with RecruitOwl and set up their first job role.
• Track outreach, responses, demos, sign-ups, and conversions.
• Gather customer feedback and share insights with the founder.
• Help test which outreach messages and channels bring the most demos and paying users.

What we're looking for

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Genuine interest in sales: you are comfortable reaching out to strangers, handling objections, and following up.
• Willingness to learn prospecting, lead generation, and sales techniques.
• A proactive mindset and the ability to work independently.
• Comfort with online tools such as LinkedIn, Google Sheets, and Google Meet.
• Freshers are welcome to apply. Prior sales experience is a plus, not a requirement.

What you'll gain

• Hands-on experience in B2B SaaS sales and customer acquisition.
• Direct mentorship and collaboration with the founder.
• Exposure to startup operations, customer discovery, and go-to-market strategy.
• Opportunities to develop communication, negotiation, and business development skills.
• A certificate and letter of recommendation based on performance, where applicable.
