Scaling Operations With 21 Automations
Abroad Internships proved that automation doesn't just cut costs, it enables sustainable growth. With fewer people, fewer errors, and a better candidate experience, they now achieve more with less
The Challenge
Abroad Internships managed internships and outreach with a team of 7 people, heavily relying on manual work: candidate follow-ups, payment confirmations, company outreach, and CRM updates. The system was inefficient, expensive, and hard to scale.
Our Approach
- Process audit to identify inefficiencies
- Automation: online candidate forms with instant eligibility feedback, AI transcription of intake calls, CRM auto-updates, and auto-generated candidate PDFs
- Training & onboarding so the team could confidently adopt the new system
- Continuous optimization to refine the workflow
