3-day internship bootcamp: professional 101

We have found that mentorship is a critical component to an excellent internship experience. We provide dedicated 1-1 mentorship for students to supplement managerial guidance.

“We really enjoyed working with Intern Scale.”

We really enjoyed working with the team at Intern Scale. They were very responsive and did a great job of sending over very qualified candidates that were a good match for our internships at SoundCloud. I would recommend using Intern Scale to find qualified interns.

“Easier than doing it ourselves!”

Intern Scale was easy to work with and quickly identified several excellent intern candidates for our growing team in Austin. It was significantly easier to hire an intern through Intern Scale than recruit ourselves. Definitely worth considering!

“Highly recommend to high-growth startups”

Finn.auto is reinventing car ownership by making mobility fun and sustainable and has raised over $35m in venture funding in less than 2 years. Intern Scale served as a great partner in finding an exceptional intern to help with our US market expansion.

About Intern Scale

Intern Scale was founded during COVID-19 in New York City. We are pioneering "internships-as-a-service," helping seed to Series F startups launch competitive, well-run internship programs, fast. Students around the United States have told us the intern application process is broken, and that finding internships with startups is extremely difficult. Startups tell us they don't offer internships because of the hassle involved. We set out to solve both problems at once.
