Hire Verified TalentStudents: Prove Your Skills

From a 45-minute sandbox to a paid internship

  1. 1

    Prove it in a 45-minute sandbox

    A slice of a real entry-level job, like cleaning up a messy lead list. Every edit is recorded, so the scorecard shows accuracy, speed, and whether the student worked on their own.

    Free for students, and free for businesses to review.

  2. 2

    Try it in a paid pilot

    About 10 hours of a business's real work. ProvenIntern employs the student, so they're paid for every hour, and the business approves the hours before it's billed.

    The business pays wages plus 40%.

  3. 3

    Keep the intern

    After a good pilot, the business keeps the student on through ProvenIntern, billed by the hour, or hires them directly.

    $500 to hire directly, free after 150 hours.

One telemetry engine. A sandbox for every role.

Each sandbox is a 45-minute slice of a real entry-level job. They all record the same signals, so a scorecard reads the same way whatever the role.

  • Data Operations

    Live in the pilot

    Clean a messy lead list: fix formats, merge duplicates and fill the gaps.

  • CRM Cleanup

    Merge duplicate contacts, correct deal stages and log the missing notes.

  • Customer Support

    Triage a busy inbox: tag, prioritize and reply within the refund policy.

  • Lead Gen

    Research local businesses and build a verified prospect list.

  • Social Media Ops

    Turn a brand brief into a week of scheduled posts.

  • Bookkeeping

    Match receipts to bank transactions and flag what doesn't add up.

The proof is in the telemetry

Every sandbox produces the same scorecard: what the candidate got right, how fast they worked, and whether they did it on their own. Pick a role to compare.

We're the employer, so the paperwork is ours

Every student on a pilot is a ProvenIntern employee. That's what lets a 10-person office try a 16-year-old for ten hours without becoming a teen employer.

For students and parents

  • Paid for every hour worked, by direct deposit. Students never pay a thing.
  • Under 18, a parent or guardian approves before the first paid pilot, and we keep the work permit on file.
  • Hours stay inside the law. In Pennsylvania, 16- and 17-year-olds work at most 8 hours a day and 28 from Monday to Friday in a school week, counted across every pilot.
  • Businesses see an anonymous ID and scores. A student's name is shared only when they apply.

For businesses

  • We run payroll, payroll taxes and workers' comp.
  • We handle work permits and hour limits for students under 18.
  • You approve hours before you're billed, and the invoice lists wages and our fee separately.
  • No resumes to screen: you see how each student actually works before you pay anything.

For employers

Zero management overhead

Compare candidates on role-specific telemetry scorecards, each with a minute-by-minute work trace: edits, pauses, tab switches and outside pastes. You see whether a candidate worked on their own before you assign them anything, so the first week isn't spent hand-holding.
