Great opportunity to deepen the relationship with students, serving as more than just a listing board but a guiding partner in answering the ever-daunting question, "What should I do when I grow up?"
As a recent grad, I'm glad to hear that InternMatch is gaining more support to help provide students with job and internship advice and support. Keep up the good work Omar!
This is awesome news. We got 3 top-flight interns from InternMatch this year, so I can't wait to start hiring full time this way.
Fantastic news. Best of luck to the team.
Congrats guys!
Btw - did anyone catch the Thomas Friedman article on internships yesterday. He's been crushing it recently.

Sounds like the InternMatch team is orchestrating two great plays in one - a shifting focus to early employment (beyond just internships) and a matching algorithm (better matches/placement).
It'll be interesting to watch how this unfolds in the bigger job-market space. Huge market, huge value, and some strong competition. Best of luck to the IM team.
