Recruit TSU Students Through Parker Dewey

Parker Dewey helps employers connect with early-career talent more effectively by providing access to real, professional work experiences that showcase skills, motivation, and fit. It’s a low-lift, high-impact way to engage talent and give your team the insights it needs to hire with confidence.

What is a Micro-Internship?

Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that enable students to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks. They can take place year-round, typically require 10 to 40 hours of work, and are due within a few days to a few weeks. Rather than relying on resumes or surface-level signals, teams get insights on skills, motivation, and fit — before making a hiring decision.

Why It Works for Employers

  • No HR burdens. Micro-Interns are not your employees, contractors, interns, temps, or freelancers. Parker Dewey handles all admin, including payroll, tax forms, and contracts.
  • You set the price. All projects are fixed-fee, and most are listed between $200–$600, typically implying $20–25/hour based on estimated hours of work.
  • You own all work product. Not happy with the results? Parker Dewey will provide a full refund or find an alternate student. Both Parker Dewey and all students sign strict NDAs to protect your information.
  • Hire directly at any time — with no conversion fees.

How to Get Started

Creating an account takes less than 5 minutes, and there’s no cost to set it up or post a project. Once your account is created, you can post a Micro-Internship project, choose from applicants, and engage your selected student — while Parker Dewey handles everything else.
