Internship Requirement (IR) vs. offer

You’ll encounter two key terms throughout your placement and hosting experience: Internship Requirement (IR) and Offer. Here’s what you need to know.

Key differences:

Internship Requirement (IR) Offer
Acts as a job description for the role An invitation to join your team 
Basic outlines of tasks and projects  More specific outlines of the tasks, expectations, and the role of the intern based on the IR
Created at the beginning of the hiring process Sent after interview and final selection
Used to filter and shortlist suitable candidates Confirms your choice and invites the candidate to accept

Q&As:

  1. Can you send multiple offers for one IR? Yes, you can send multiple offers if you need more than one intern for the same role. However, we limit the number to three interns per supervisor to ensure adequate support and avoid overburdening supervisors. If your company wishes to take on more interns, we recommend adding additional supervisors.
  2. Will the candidates be notified when you create an IR? No, candidates are not notified when you create an IR. They are only notified when they are shortlisted, interviewed, or when an offer is sent.
