Best practice on hiring an intern to full time

Samantha D. - July 11, 2018
Back to Ask the Experts

We’re a government contractor and every year we bring on a cohort of paid, summer interns. Each intern formally applies to our company for the internship position. At the end of their internships, we make full-time offers to some of the interns. What is the best practice in terms of converting them to full time employees at the end of their internships? Does each intern need to apply again to a full-time open requisition? Do we need to open and compete requisitions that we know these interns will fill since they’ve been already working for us? Can we simply add them as full-time staff without having to open a full requisition?
