What Employers Are Saying
From boutique hotels to large resort groups, businesses across the U.S. rely on Try Interns to fill their open roles year after year.
"My resort has a large Food & Beverage operation and our HR team had real trouble filling Culinary Artist positions. We reached out to Try Interns, and now we have a full program with 25 interns arriving each year."
"My business has been growing for 5 years and we're constantly expanding our sales team. Try Interns helped us develop an international training program — now we hire 12-month interns from Europe twice a year."
"As talent specialist for a large hotel group, Try Interns has been essential. They consistently provide qualified candidates from South America, Asia, and Europe for our Front Desk and Food & Beverage roles."
"I can't recommend Try Interns enough! I wanted to offer internship openings but didn't know where to start. They quickly helped me build a training plan and had pre-screened applicants ready to interview online within days."
"We needed bilingual content creators for our Spanish-speaking markets. Try Interns found us exactly that — two interns from Spain and Mexico who tripled our social media engagement within three months. We've renewed the program every year since."
"Running an agritourism operation means I need people who are passionate about what they do. Our J-1 interns from Europe have been incredible — knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely excited to learn American farming practices."
"We were skeptical at first about international interns for our IT team, but the candidates Try Interns sent were genuinely impressive. Two of them ended up staying on full-time after completing their programs. That's the best outcome I could have asked for."
"We have three restaurants and run a continuous intern program now. Try Interns makes the whole process seamless — we post our needs, interview candidates online, and have motivated people arriving ready to work. It's transformed how we staff our kitchens."
"We brought in a law intern from Germany for our research and drafting team and were blown away. She hit the ground running, produced high-quality work, and brought a comparative legal perspective that genuinely improved our briefs. We've already requested two more."
"Our school brought in two teaching assistant interns through Try Interns and the impact on our students was immediate. They brought energy, fresh teaching approaches, and our kids loved learning from someone with a different cultural background. We'll do it again every year."
"We were short-staffed on a major commercial project and reached out to Try Interns for construction management interns. Within 60 days we had two engineering graduates from Brazil on site. Professional, sharp, and exactly what we needed to keep the project on schedule."
"As a nonprofit arts organization we didn't think the J-1 program applied to us — but Try Interns walked us through the Arts & Culture category and matched us with a gallery intern from Italy. She curated one of our best-attended exhibitions to date. Absolutely worth it."
