Parker Dewey Micro-Internship Features

With Parker Dewey, you can:

Get work off your plate

by posting a Micro-Internship project. Our customizable project templates make it easy to create a posting—it only takes five minutes.

Discover untapped candidates

without any extra effort—they come to you. Career Launchers are students and recent graduates from schools across the U.S., including first generation, international, and minority students.

Assess skills that matter

through watching candidates in action as they take on a project. Soft skills rank at the top of the list for entry-level professional roles—but resumes and interviews don’t tell the full story. Micro-Internships allow you to actually evaluate those capabilities that matter most to the role.

Gain valuable feedback

from hiring managers on candidates’ capabilities in real time—and determine whether a candidate should be considered for a longer-term opportunity. We’ll also provide you with data you can use to strengthen your campus recruiting program, like: where Micro-Interns attend school, what skills are most in-demand by your hiring managers, and recommendations for candidate next steps to keep them engaged.

Access, engage, assess, and hire early-career talent

Parker Dewey’s full-service Micro-Internship programs help companies achieve their campus recruiting goals for full-time positions, summer internships, and other early-career engagement initiatives.

All employers have free use of Parker Dewey’s Micro-Internship platform, which provides access to 11M+ college students and recent graduates seeking short-term, paid, flexible, professional experience.

Micro-Internship programs also provide clients with:

Employer Profile

Beyond individual projects, an employer profile provides an opportunity to highlight your organization’s commitment to experiential learning, while unpacking early career roles and the skills that matter most to your team. Your profile will also be featured to our partner network of colleges, universities, and nonprofits.

Internal Portal

Free up employee’s time—and yours—with a custom portal featuring pre-scoped projects aligned to business needs and your recruiting goals.
