The Challenge
The client needed a summer internship program built fast, with planning starting too late to compete for top college talent on their own. Their team also lacked the bandwidth to run sourcing, onboarding, payroll, and compliance in-house.
Our Solution
TRC stepped in as a full-service recruiting and employer-of-record partner. TRC screened all 300 applicants inside the client’s ATS, coordinated interviews across four states, then handled payroll and onboarding from day one through off-boarding.
The Results
TRC hired and onboarded 9 interns across four states in a single summer. Four interns earned long-term growth opportunities, and the program is expanding to 25 interns next summer, with recruitment starting a year earlier.
Why It Worked
TRC delivered on a compressed timeline and proved it could manage a high-volume applicant pool inside the client’s own systems. That performance earned the trust to take on broader direct hire recruiting, turning a one-time engagement into a standing RPO partnership.
