Marketing and Communications Intern
We’re Hiring! Ok, ok, so we’re pretty much always hiring; we are a Recruiting Agency after all, but this time we’re hiring for us! That’s right. Route Networking Group is seeking a *paid* ‘Marketing Intern’ to join our fun, dynamic, and badass Team.
About Us:
Recruiting. Refined.
Who We Are
We’re Route Networking Group. We help Idaho companies find their route to exceptional talent. We’re a third-party recruiting agency that focuses on careers, not jobs; and fills permanent, direct-hire roles that help to boost Idaho’s economy. We’re passionate about the place we grew up in, the city we’ve come back to, the community we’re a part of, and the future we’re helping to build here. We believe in building long-standing relationships with both our clients and our customers, and in doing so, we help facilitate a unique and efficient recruiting process, unlike any other.
Who We Aren’t
Well, as you may have guessed, we’re not every other recruiting agency out there. We’re also not a Staffing company. We pride ourselves on our extreme commitment to integrity and service to our clients. We’re not the company the blasts hundreds of people on LinkedIn with erroneous, barely-relevant messages, hoping something will stick. We’re non-traditional, we’re a startup, we’re agile, we’re targeted, and we’re local.
What We Need
We need someone that first and foremost, likes what she/he read above. As a Marketing Specialist with RNG, you’ll work closely with our small (but mighty) team to support our recruiting efforts. You’ll be the first line of contact in our marketing presence, helping to build and strengthen the RNG brand. You’ll network, build connections, and spread the RNG mission through our web and social presence. Like all our positions at RNG, we want this position to be something your uniquely passionate for, so you’ll also have the opportunity to create and evolve your role as you grow, and as the company grows.
This is pivotal moment for our team and we need someone passionate, self-motivated, and hungry. This is not the cush, sit-on-instagram, wait-for-someone-to-tell-you-what-to-do kind of job. This is a take-it-and-run-with-it, do-awesome-$h$t, kind of career.
The Gig:
As the MCS you are continuously innovating and bringing ideas to the table that enhance
RNG’s digital presence and promotes the RNG brand. This will be a part-time (10-20 hours/week) position with the potential for an extended role as the company grows.

About You
Must Haves:
- A strong interest in digital and social media marketing. You’re familiar with creating posts, developing content, increasing follow-ship, and developing strategies that drive metrics, especially in the B2B world (or you’re willing to learn it, quickly!). You’re familiar with tools like Canva, LinkedIn, Hootsuite (or similar), and/or Photoshop.
- A data-centric marketing mind-set. You’re not the type to simply sit back and watch to “see what happens” or throw money at a problem. You measure and track goals and know how to let those guide future decisions.
- Superb writing abilities and excellent verbal communication skills.
- Self-motivated, driven, and creative. We’re a small team and micro-managing is a non-option. The ideal candidate is someone willing and able to dive in, ask questions, and learn as she goes (rather than wait to be told what to do and how to do it).
- Strong attention to detail.
- Integrity. A positive attitude, team-mentality, and tenacity.
Nice to Haves:
- A background in writing; creative, technical, comic books, etc.. and/or graphic design.
