Urban Interns, founded in 2009 by New Yorker Cari Sommer and Lauren Porat, has created a marketplace focused on connecting companies with talented candidates looking for internships, part-time jobs, freelance work and contract positions. Urban Interns co-founder Cari Sommer is my guest for this week’s episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast and is clear to point out that Urban Interns is not a placement agency and differs from Elance or Craigslist markets in the way that it is organized specifically around helping companies find workers looking to fill available work capacity either virtually or on site. The use of an intern or part-time employee can allow a business to build a position and grow into a full time employee.
