EXAMPLE PROJECTS
Turn the role you’re hiring for into a
paid project
Before you spend interview time on anyone, give candidates a piece of real work from your team and see how they handle it. Below, see what we've learned over 10 years of scoping meaningful projects, a few examples from employers who’ve run them, and a list of ideas to borrow.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
A Student's Story
Harishma Ashok, a graduate student at the University of Central Florida: "At the very end [of my Micro-Internship], I asked them to keep me in mind for future opportunities. My supervisor responded and asked if there were any current postings that aligned with my interests. I went to the careers page, applied right away, and let my supervisor know.”
She landed the job, and was promoted after three months.
