Bounty for new intern

[archerships]

I'm thinking about an experiment to help me find qualified candidates for the internship position I'm trying to fill.

Here's how I envision it will work:

1. If you recommend a candidate which we ultimately hire, I will pay you a $100.
2. If they remain hired 6 months or longer, I'll pay you another $100.
3. You will get credit for the hire if they say, "So and so recommended that I apply for this job." or "I found out about the position by reading X's blog." or something similar during the hiring process.
4. The offer is good for 6 months or until we hire someone, whichever comes first.

What do you think? Any other suggestions for how I might find qualified candidates?

Lower your requirements?

Eh? What about the requirements do you think is excessive?

I think it was a joke answer for "Any other suggestions for how I might find qualified candidates?"

Ah. You're probably right.

I usually assume "intern" = "college students." Are you near NC State? I would contact the relevant departments there (business / economics / ... ?) and ask them to publicize the opportunity to their students.

there's a terrific idea. a lot of campuses have investing clubs sponsored by the business school. spending some time creating relationships with those students & depts have advantages for a firm beyond just hiring.

double that if they can allow students to somehow telecommute for the gig. high-speed internet connection, VoIP, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, I'm targetting college students, but the job is open to any qualified person.

NCSU is nearby, and I've posted an ad to their onlinr jobs bulletin board. I'll look into contacting their faculty.

you also may want to post in raleigh communities, or the ncsu community. that might get some responses and you can weed them out from there?

Thanks! Good idea.
