An added bonus to staffing organizations is that they have already pre-screened the employee, which means one less job the recruiter must perform. The Screening Process is a process used to sift out the desirable candidates from the undesirable. There are numerous screening processes and most recruiters use more than one at a time. Screening can be conducted through colleges via an internship program during the semester or during the summer. Internships provide the employee with a means to also screen the company they're interviewing for to see if it is a good mix for them.
Internships frequently allow the employee to gain precious experience in a variety of areas.
