    Our Process

    Your team defines the goals, our team handles the rest!

    ✅ After defining your goals, our team designs the project(s), markets and manages the program, and supports students so you can focus on your job.

    ✅ You (or your hiring managers) do the fun stuff including kicking off the project with students and hearing their presentations.

    ✅ You get all of the candidate data, skills insights, and recommendations to keep high-potential candidates engaged.

    After a pilot to explore how we could integrate Micro-Internships into our hiring process, we're now expanding the program and collaborating with managers to promote this skills-centered approach.

    There’s no reason why any company should not be using Micro-Internships. It is the easiest way to add value to the organization by getting some projects completed, giving students the opportunity to learn, and being cost-effective.

    You can interview, but you don’t really know how you’ll work with a person until you actually work with them. With this, you get to try someone for 20 hours and make sure your working styles match!
