WHY HIRE AN INTERN?
Hiring a sales intern is a unique opportunity to bring on a candidate to work in the role for a short period of time to determine if they are a fit for a full-time offer in the coming year(s).
Summer interns also provide inexpensive support for activities such as prospecting, building pipeline, creating marketing materials, and collecting data.
The best part is, working with CSS to find summer interns is a completely free service to all parties involved!
What to expect and how to get involved
CSS will provide your internship opportunity with student members currently interested in sales. These students will act as additional support on entry-level initiatives and have the drive to be successful. Students will have 8 - 12 weeks of availability to complete the internship. To get involved complete the employer form on this page by end of day on March 4, 2022. A CSS team member will be in touch to confirm your request and discuss next steps.
Working with CSS
CSS will collect and organize student applicants' resumes and contact information. Following the student application deadline, the CSS team will send you the student candidate profiles and you decide how to proceed. Following the end of the internship, surveys will be sent out to collect employer feedback.
