Finding top tech talent is hard. TechPoint is here to help. TechPoint’s Xtern program gives your company access to highly-skilled tech talent through our college recruitment engine.
The Xtern program recruits students from 20+ campuses in the region and beyond to foster the next generation of tech builders. Students live on a campus together and share their experiences working for your company with their peers. Xtern is a built-in marketing opportunity to help get your brand name to current college students as they go back to school and rave about what they did for you.
We take care of their after-hours, offer housing, and provide professional development and social activities that create the best summer internship experience. Ready to become an Xtern employer?
