Our Team
We believe travel can create citizens of the world. We spark moments of connection and transformation, giving people the freedom to explore openly and shape their own story.
With colleagues from more than 50 countries, our diversity fuels curiosity, insight, and a culture of openness, essential to understanding our travellers and one another.
We work in a flexible hybrid model from our Utrecht HQ and our homes across the Netherlands.
Just as travel is about discovery, we’re looking for people who want to go one stop further, joining a journey that inspires personal transformation through train travel.
We’re looking for:
You’re someone with a real interest in people and an energetic team player with drive and a genuine eagerness to learn, especially when it comes to finding and welcoming new talent. You’ll join our People & Culture team and work closely with Talent Acquisition on real recruitment projects, so you gain practical experience from day one.
Our P&C team
Our P&C team drives engagement and performance. We focus on all elements of People and Culture, including Learning and Development, Recruitment, Employee Relations, Office Management and Employee Experience. Within the team, Talent Acquisition looks after everything from the first job post to a new colleague’s first day, and that’s where you’ll spend most of your time.
What you will be doing:
Working closely with Talent Acquisition, you’ll gain hands-on experience in:
Replying to candidates’ general questions by email, making sure everyone who gets in touch receives a kind, clear and timely answer.
Scheduling interviews in close collaboration with our hiring managers, so the process runs smoothly for candidates and interviewers alike.
Joining interviews alongside Talent Acquisition, so you can learn how great interviews work and build your own interviewing skills along the way.
Creating employer branding banners and visuals that show what it’s really like to work at Interrail.
Representing Interrail at recruitment events, such as job fairs and university career days, and helping to prepare and coordinate them.
Research recruitment initiatives and AI tools used at other companies, and share ideas we could try ourselves while building your own skills in this area.
Over time, taking ownership of hiring our future interns, from posting the role to welcoming them on board.
Supporting the wider P&C team with general HR tasks, such as onboarding or answering questions in the HR inbox.
Skills and mindset:
(Working towards) a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human Resources, or a related field, or otherwise eligible for an internship (for example, with an orientation year visa).
Previous (internship) experience in HR, recruitment or a related field is a plus, but not a must.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a warm and clear writing style, as you’ll often be a candidate’s first point of contact.
Curiosity about AI and digital tools, and a willingness to experiment.
Ability to work well in a dynamic environment.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
Fluent in English.
Our offer
A monthly internship allowance of €650 (Bachelor’s) or €750 (Master’s).
A travel allowance covering your commute to and from the office.

We offer a flexible hybrid model that combines remote work with in-office days each week, promoting teamwork and connection.
5 working days from abroad per 6 months internship.
A free global travel pass for you and a companion on completion of your internship, so you can explore Europe with your family or friends and share the same experiences as our customers.

We'll ask you to share your resume in English (our business language) and tell us why you're interested in Interrail and this particular role. It doesn't hurt to be creative; we enjoy seeing your personality shine through.
As part of the process, we may also ask you to complete a short assessment to showcase your skills.
If we think you might be a good candidate, the next step is a relatively informal interview with some of your potential new team members. For you, this is a chance to understand if Interrail is your ideal workplace, and for us, it tells us more about the value you would bring.
