WSJ Your Money Briefing · Summer Intern Candidates Facing Bidding Wars · 4 Mar 2022 podcast

I think students who I talked to who have considered this or who have done this matched

look at the name on the resume, they look at the salary that they could be bringing in, and importantly, they look at the experience that they think that they're going to get at these preferred internship programs. matched

And in a lot of cases, that's a very strong counterweight to a more nebulous idea of possible ramifications. matched

There's another side to that coin as well, which is the relationship between the college and the company. matched

And many campus career offices are really cognizant of that relationship and don't want to do anything to stress it or damage it. matched

Their fear is that if a number of students back out from opportunities that they've already accepted, might that influence their matched

whether a company wants to come back next semester or next year and knock on their door and recruit future classes. matched

And so one aspect of could this be hurtful is thinking about what is the next student who comes around? matched

What's going to be their experience? matched

And colleges really have that front of mind. matched

There usually are several months between these dates. matched

And one thing that really surprised me in reporting this is that in some cases, there are many more months than I had anticipated. matched

People were telling me that they were interviewing for these summer internships while they were doing a different summer internship. matched

So companies need to, you know, keep students warm is what they say, you know, make sure that they're front of mind for these candidates that they've worked hard to recruit. matched

Liberty Mutual told me about their Keep in Touch campaign, including interns in get togethers that are held virtually online. matched

some coffee chats and the like to kind of keep them engaged with what's going on. matched

One logistics company that I talked to mentioned sending holiday e-cards to the students who had accepted. matched

So there are different tactics, some with video engagement and when possible in-person engagement, but others just really leaning into the messaging. matched

So some of them are looking at pay benchmarks and making sure that this very basic aspect of it, this critical aspect of it, is competitive with other organizations and external benchmarks. matched

Some of them begrudge the trend. matched
