Talent Acquisition for Private Equity is an important part of our business that grew out of our work with PE. It is more common for these deals to close than those related to PE because it is a much quicker process.
Making phone calls is an intern responsibility but it is only one of several tasks to be completed throughout the day. Interns are making follow up calls to executives that submitted their resumes to us and this task is extremely beneficial for developing communication skills and a professional demeanor. Employers value individual who can do more than text as a way of communication.
Interns that have significantly contributed to the completion of a deal will receive a commission. The terms of this arrangement will be agreed upon in advance and a contract will be signed.
Our program was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you put in. If you got nothing out of it, likely you did not apply yourself.
Since 2005, we estimate over 300 interns have gone through the program. The internship is a "training program" with clear and measurable written outcomes to develop those who cannot get a job in todays market.
Blackmore is only for those who want to cannot get a paid position because they lack training and experience. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers.
Consider you were scammed by your college. After four years of college you were not employable, they took your money and did not deliver. Your college did not have the respect for you and others of your generation to deliver what the market needs in an employee.
In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay you to come aboard.
