| 6 Easy Steps to Hiring Interns |
 |
1. Why Hire Interns?
It is clear that students gain a great deal from working as interns. In
today's tight job market, internships have rapidly become a prerequisite
for many full-time positions. The payoff for students is invaluable:
real-world experience, evidence of their future job-worthiness, and
contacts in their field of interest. The result is an increased demand
among students for internship positions and a pool of high-value, cost
effective talent for employers to recruit. But what are the key benefits
to your organization should you decide to work with interns?
Businesses report the following benefits from working with interns:
- The opportunity
to screen and work with potential entry-level employees prior
to making a full-time commitment.
- Reduced
turnover and training among entry-level employees who were
former interns.
This is financially favorable
for the hiring organization.
- A chance for junior-level managers
within your organization to gain supervisory
experience.
- The convenience
and flexibility of hiring additional staff during peak
seasons
- Good "word-of-mouth" in the
recruiting marketplace and an increased pool
of qualified candidates to meet future recruiting needs.
