Help for Small Businesses & Part-Time Workers

Urban Interns is a new site offering small businesses and part-time workers a unique way to connect. Employers in need of assistance who want to hire people to help with special projects or to assist during periods of heavy workload, can post their internships or jobs online or search Urban Intern’s database for candidates that meet the skills they’re looking for.

Candidates seeking part-time employment who are looking to make a little extra money (or for those seeking internships to gain the relevant work experience required by employers), can also post their information or search the site for available internships and jobs.

This service is of particular importance in a down economy such as the one we are experiencing. With all the talk of current lay-offs and company down-sizing, connecting small businesses and skilled candidates is a win-win situation for everybody. With compensation budgets being cut on a regular basis there is not a lot of money available for employers to hire full-time employees – but there are many people are willing to work a part-time job to make a little bit of extra cash or just to get experience.

The
founders of Urban Interns, Lauren and Cari – both career professionals, recognized an important need not currently being met in the marketplace and came up with a solution.
