Business Developement/GTM Intern — Sales & Business Development
Proverse Talent · Remote · 3–6 months, with a path to full-time
About us
Proverse Talent is a recruiting company that runs on software we build ourselves. We place engineers and specialists for fast-growing companies, and we're building the platform that makes that placement faster and more evidence-based than a traditional agency can manage.
That gives us three ways to make money, and this role touches all three.
What you'd actually be doing
1 · Vendor empanelment — the one that unlocks everything
Getting Proverse onto a company's approved recruitment-vendor list is the gate before any agency revenue exists. You'd research target companies, find who owns vendor decisions in TA and procurement, prepare empanelment documentation, manage submissions, and chase them to a decision. This is a real, learnable, valuable skill, and most people your age have never been taught it.
2 · Agency business development
Build and work a pipeline of companies hiring for roles we can fill. Research, outreach, qualification, and getting the right conversation into the founder's calendar.
3 · Marketplace and platform demand
Bring companies onto our marketplace to post roles, and recruiters onto our platform. Different audiences, different messaging — you'd help work out which lines land.
Across all three, you'd own
- Building and maintaining the pipeline so nothing is lost and every lead is traceable
- Research on target companies, hiring signals, and the people who make the decision
- Tracking follow-ups and activity — being the reason nothing goes cold
- Building simple automations so the same manual work doesn't get done twice
- Writing down what works, so the second month is easier than the first
What we're honest about
You won't be closing deals in month one — the founder closes. Your job is to create and qualify the opportunities that make closing possible, and to build the process that lets us do it repeatably. If you're good at that, you'll be closing before the internship ends.
What good looks like
By
Outcome
30 days
A working pipeline exists with clean data. You can name our top 50 target companies and why they're on the list.
60 days
Empanelment submissions are in motion. Outreach is running and you know your response rates.
90 days
You can tell us which channel actually works, backed by numbers — and the process runs without the founder driving it.What we're looking for
Required
- Genuinely strong research skills — you can find the right person and a reason to contact them
- Clear written English; most of this job is written
- Organised by instinct. A pipeline you don't maintain is worse than no pipeline
- Comfortable with AI tools as everyday leverage, not as a novelty
- Willing to hear "no" repeatedly and keep going
Preferred
- Any exposure to B2B sales, recruitment, or staffing
- Hands-on with Claude, Notion, NotebookLM, or MCP-based automation
- Understanding of how Indian enterprises procure vendors
Not required: a sales background, or a technical one. We'll teach the process.
Why this is worth your time
You'd be the first commercial hire, building the sales function rather than inheriting one — with direct access to the founder and real ownership of what gets tried. If it works, this becomes a full-time role owning GTM.
