Description & Requirements

Bain & Company is a global leader in management consulting, renowned for delivering strategic, objective, and results-driven advisory services for over 50 years. We work with leading international and multinational companies across a wide range of industries.

WHAT MAKES BAIN A GREAT PLACE TO WORK

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work. We are currently the #1 ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and have maintained a spot in the top four on Glassdoor’s list since its founding in 2009. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy, but these don’t happen by chance.

They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.

We are currently looking for a Student Assistant to join our Recruiting team in Copenhagen . You’ll get hands-on experience in how Bain attracts, engages, and recruits top talent, while also gaining exposure to the broader business and how a global consulting firm operates. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in recruiting or employer branding who enjoys taking ownership, working with people, and getting things done in a high-performing environment.

The position is 15–20 hours per week , with flexibility around exam periods.

You’ll be part of a close-knit, ambitious, and fun Nordic Recruiting team of eight colleagues based in Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, and Stockholm. You’ll work closely with our Senior Recruiting Specialist in Copenhagen and collaborate with colleagues across both recruiting and consulting teams. In this role, you’ll have an active role in our recruitment processes and employer branding activities in Copenhagen, helping us deliver a smooth and high-quality experience for candidates from their first interaction with Bain through to joining.

What you’ll do

You’ll play an important role in recruiting the next generation of talented consultants from leading academic institutions. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting and coordinating end-to-end recruitment for Associate Consultants and interns, including application screening, interview-day coordination, and candidate communication
• Planning and executing employer branding and recruiting events, from developing concepts and coordinating logistics to managing applications and candidate outreach
• Supporting our Nordic social media presence, including content production
• Creating candidate-facing communications and event marketing materials

What it’s like to work here

At Bain, we set the bar high, and we pair that with an equally high level of support. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, receive ongoing feedback, and have the opportunity to learn from some of the best people in the business — both within recruiting and across our consulting teams. You’ll work alongside colleagues who are invested in helping you develop.

What we offer

• A fun, ambitious, and welcoming team environment
• Flexibility around your studies and exam periods
• A beautiful office in the heart of Copenhagen
• Sports, social activities, and a competitive benefits package

We’re looking for someone who

• Is currently pursuing a relevant BA/BSc or MA/MSc degree, with at least 1.5 years remaining in their studies
• Has some previous experience in recruitment, employer branding, social media, event coordination, or a similar role
• Is fluent in English, both written and spoken
• Shows initiative, takes ownership, and has high standards for their work
• Communicates confidently and professionally and enjoys building relationships
• Brings curiosity, a ‘can-do’ attitude, and a good sense of humor

How to apply

If this sounds like you, please send us your resume, transcripts, and cover letter explaining why you’re interested in this role. We’re looking for someone to join our team as soon as possible, so we’ll conduct interviews on an ongoing basis.
