Hiring Interns

Benefits of Interns

Finding future employees

An internship program is a proven recruiting tool; an ongoing pipeline of future employees, saving the cost of recruiting and hiring!

Increasing employee-retention rate

The proof for the test-driving theory is in the positive employee retention figures: According to the same Internship Survey, almost 40% of employers reported a higher five-year retention rate among employees they’d hired via an internship program.

Enhancing perspective

New people bring with them novel perspectives, fresh ideas, and specialized strengths and skill sets.
