Not just another job board
Built for internships, end to end
Six things generic job boards ignore — and the reasons students, employers, and schools choose Interns.guru.
Academic-aware
Match by major, graduation window, coursework, and availability aligned to the academic calendar — Summer, Fall, Spring, Co-op.
Mentorship-first
Every role can surface a mentor. Office hours, structured feedback, and matching turn a placement into real growth.
Institution-aware
Universities verify students, post exclusive roles, and track placement outcomes for their cohorts.
Compliance-aware
Capture CPT/OPT and visa status, support academic credit, and flag unpaid-internship considerations — clearly, never as legal advice.
Outcome-aware
Track the full funnel through to return offers and intern-to-full-time conversion — the metric that actually matters.
Cohort-aware
Employers run structured intern programs with cohorts, shared start dates, and onboarding — not one disconnected req at a time.
How it works
From profile to placement in three steps
No noise, no spray-and-pray. A focused path from your first application to a role that moves your career forward.
- 1
Build a profile that travels
Academic background, portfolio projects, skills, and availability — a profile that says more than a one-page résumé ever could.
- 2
Match with roles and mentors
Filter by season, pay, location, and CPT/OPT support. Apply in a click and get paired with a mentor who knows your field.
- 3
Track outcomes, not just applies
Follow every application through a clear pipeline — from applied to interview to offer — with feedback that helps you grow.

Mentorship is the promise in our name
Mentors attach to a role or stand on their own. Publish office hours, leave structured feedback, and build a reputation — so every intern grows, not just gets hired.

Real outcomes, in their words
I went from cold-emailing recruiters to three interviews in two weeks. The mentor match was the difference — someone who'd actually done the job reviewed my portfolio.

CS junior · ML intern at Nov* Labs
We ran our whole summer cohort through the pipeline. Verified candidates, a clean kanban, and conversion tracking we never had before. We hired four of six.
Marcus Reyes
Eng. Manager · DataForge
Our career team finally has placement numbers we can show the dean. School-exclusive roles plus real outcome dashboards — it sold itself.

The CPT/OPT filters saved me weeks. Every listing told me upfront whether sponsorship was on the table — no more wasted applications.

Weekly 1:1s with my mentor turned a decent internship into a return offer. I knew exactly what to work on and had someone in my corner.

Posting a structured program with learning outcomes attracted a completely different caliber of applicant than the old job board did.
Priya Anand
Founder · Loopcraft
The application tracker kept me sane during recruiting season. I always knew exactly where I stood instead of refreshing my inbox.
Diego Alvarez
Junior · Mechanical Engineering
As a first-gen student I had no network. A mentor here walked me through negotiating my first offer — I genuinely couldn't have done it alone.
