How quickly will we receive candidate profiles after posting a internship?

Most companies receive 2–5 pre-screened candidate profiles within 5–10 working days of submitting a internship. For highly technical roles (e.g. machine learning, DevOps), sourcing may take up to 15 working days. We notify you immediately when suitable candidates are identified.

Is there a cost to recruit IT or design interns through Spain Internship?

There is no upfront recruitment fee for host companies. Our service is funded through the student's placement programme fee. You may agree on a modest hosting stipend for the intern (typically €200–€600/month), but this is not mandatory for Erasmus+ funded candidates.

Can we recruit interns for fully remote or hybrid roles?

Yes. We source candidates for on-site, hybrid, and fully remote IT and design internships. Remote and hybrid roles are particularly popular with our international candidate pool and tend to attract applications from students across France, Germany, Poland, and Italy.

How long can an IT or design intern stay with our company?

Internship durations run from 2 to 6 months, aligned with university academic calendars and Erasmus+ grant cycles. Some candidates from partner universities are eligible for 12-month placements. We confirm the available duration for each candidate before presenting their profile.

Do interns arrive with prior professional experience?

Most candidates are final-year bachelor's or master's students, some with previous internship experience. We pre-screen for academic background, tool proficiency, and professional readiness. Graduate profiles (0–2 years post-graduation) are also available for companies that prefer candidates with prior work exposure.

Who handles Erasmus+ documentation and compliance?

We manage all Erasmus+ documentation on your behalf: Learning Agreements, Hosting Agreements, mid-term and final evaluation forms, and any Mobility Tool submissions required by the intern's home institution. You simply sign where required — we prepare and coordinate everything else.

What if an intern is not the right fit after they start?

We include a structured two-week trial period in all placements. If either party identifies a significant mismatch within this period, we work to resolve it — either through role adjustment or, in rare cases, by sourcing a replacement candidate. Continuity of your project is our priority.

Can we recruit a full cohort of IT or design interns at once?

Yes. We support cohort hiring for companies running larger digital projects or seasonal campaigns. Cohorts of 3–10 interns can be placed simultaneously across IT, design, or a combination of both. Cohort programs include a coordinated onboarding day and shared check-in schedule.

Hiring an IT or design intern through Spain Internship gives your company access to motivated European talent — pre-screened for technical background, professional readiness, and cultural adaptability — without the overhead of a traditional recruitment campaign. Our sourcing network spans universities in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, and Spain.

We manage the entire candidate pipeline: sourcing, screening, profile presentation, interview coordination, Erasmus+ documentation, and ongoing placement support. Your team reviews a shortlist of 2–5 matched profiles, selects preferred candidates, and conducts a single interview per shortlisted applicant. Most companies confirm a hire within two weeks of posting a internship.

Whether you need a front-end developer for a three-month sprint, a UX/UI designer for a product redesign, or a data analyst to support a business intelligence project, our matching process is tailored to your tools, workflow, and timeline — not to a generic internship template.
