Recruiting Students

How will you find those ideal candidates to fill your internship position(s)? Begin searching three to four months before you need a student to begin. Starting early has other advantages: the longer you accept applications, the better your chance of finding the best person for the job. The sooner you get one, the longer you have to form a good working relationship with your intern.

Learn the legal implications of hiring interns. Just like any other worker, they are subject to legal protection and regulations. Protect yourself and your intern by knowing the laws: How much can you pay them? What work can and can’t you assign? This is especially important if your company employs a lot of international students who need special qualifications to work in the U.S. Consult your corporate lawyer or the intern’s school office of international education, if you think you might run into problems. See legal section in this toolkit.
