Over 13 years ago, we started Capital Placement with a bold vision: to open the world to students and graduates who dream of building global careers. We wanted to remove the barriers that stood between talent and opportunity, and make international work experience something everyone could access, not just a privileged few.
Today, that vision continues to drive everything we do. We connect ambitious young people with life-changing internships across the world, experiences that spark confidence, broaden horizons, and transform potential into purpose.
For the 4,000+ employers who partner with us, we offer more than just candidates; we connect them with a global community of pre-vetted, career-ready individuals who bring energy, curiosity, and fresh ideas to every role.
At Capital Placement, every match we make is a step toward something bigger, a more connected, inclusive world of work where opportunity knows no borders.
We’re looking for a Customer Experience Associate who genuinely cares about helping people take the first step in their careers. In this role, you’ll be the friendly, reliable guide for our candidates, answering their questions, listening to their goals, and supporting them throughout their journey with us.
You’ll help candidates feel confident and informed by managing our communication channels, conducting consultations, and walking them through every stage of our internship programs. Along the way, you’ll keep our systems up to date, interview applicants, and collaborate closely with our internal teams to ensure every candidate feels valued, supported, and set up for success.
This isn’t just about managing processes, it’s about making a real difference in someone’s career story.
- Be the first point of contact for candidates, responding promptly and thoughtfully to enquiries via phone, email, or chat to ensure every interaction feels supportive and personal.

- Stay informed about employability and industry trends to offer credible, up-to-date guidance that helps candidates make well-informed decisions.
- Maintain accurate records across all systems, trackers, and databases, ensuring information is always current and reliable.
- Take initiative to resolve issues independently, applying empathy, sound judgement, and creative thinking to reach effective solutions.
- Analyse candidate and program data to identify insights and share recommendations with other teams for continuous improvement.
- Conduct interviews with applicants, either one-on-one or via our in-house Rena AI Interviewer, assessing their suitability and potential for our programs.
- Leverage AI tools thoughtfully to enhance the candidate experience and streamline internal processes.
- Collaborate closely with colleagues across teams, contributing ideas, sharing feedback, and supporting joint initiatives to ensure every candidate enjoys a smooth and positive journey.
