The best way to find interns is to contact Universities. If they can get college credit, they will usually work for less, or free. The University will normally take care of the education part, as long as you have a legitimate business. But you have to be offering the interns something in return. If you aren't going to spend time training them, then you're not fulfilling your side of the bargain. And sometimes interns require so much training and management that they are more costly than a regular employee. So choose wisely.

Also, as a general rule, internships during the summer are more likely to be paid than those offered during the school year.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think what you are proposing is illegal because you will be violating labour laws by paying your workers less than the minimum wage. Note also that if you don't pay your workers you don't legally gain ownership of any IP they produce.

If you want to hire workers at less than the minimum wage your best bet would likely be to try and hire them in India or China. By having your workers work in another country you can get around US labour laws.

I prefer for recruitment software, Platina Software is the leading recruitment software product company in India focused on creating, selling and supporting high quality software products in HR. Its staffing and recruitment solution SkillPoint has brought a revolution in the recruitment industry and has made it possible for the recruiters to see the quality of the candidates and the requirements of the hiring teams rather than worrying about managing the database.
