How to Recruit Great Interns
Some advice great today about how to recruit the best interns in an article posted to our CollegeRecruiter.com Insights by Employers Blog:
- Tell them they're going to work on interesting, real life projects and follow through on your promises.
- Make offers as quickly as possible. If your organization takes weeks to decide, change your organization because your competitors are extending offers in days and sometimes hours or even minutes after interviews.
- Assign a willing and able mentor to each intern and make sure that the mentors will not be traveling for more than a day or two now and then during the internship season.
- Include your interns in organizational activities as if they were regular employees.
- Hire students who are entering their sophomore and junior years, not just those entering their senior years. And consider hiring as interns those who just graduated. These positions used to frequently be referred to as externships but they're becoming more and more popular amongst recent graduates.
