Summer is around the corner, and the exciting atmosphere of internship season is bustling throughout the universities. This is also the time when businesses, especially those in the information technology (IT) field, are looking for young and dynamic human resources.
Therefore, how can businesses seize this golden opportunity to hunt for IT talents and build quality human resources? Let's find out in this blog.
High Time To Recruit Interns
The timing of recruiting interns may depend on the needs and recruitment process of the business. However, there are some periods that can be considered "golden time" for recruitment, such as the summer (May to June), year-end period (November to December), etc.
Currently, the demand for IT internships in Vietnam is on the rise and is considered an important way for students to gain practical experience in the field of information technology. After the layoffs, Vietnam's economy is gradually stabilizing. Recruiting interns can help businesses save costs and attract a number of young and skilled employees.
According to updated data at HR1Tech, jobs for interns always receive significant attention. In the same field of expertise, compared to other positions (such as leader or manager), positions such as intern, fresher, or junior tend to receive about 30–40% more applications.

According to forecasts, by 2025, Vietnam will still need 700,000 human resources in the information technology industry. However, of the more than 57,000 students graduating each year, only about 30% of graduates each year have enough practical skills and expertise to meet the job requirements of businesses. The remainder (about 70%) need additional training for 3-6 months to achieve corresponding job performance. Through this, we can see that the need for apprenticeship to master the profession is really important in this field.

To attract IT talents, the HR department can apply different methods depending on the requirements of the business.
