Why direct outreach works in consulting & staffing
Most consulting & staffing internships are never posted publicly. A concise, specific email to the right recruiting inbox reaches a real person and skips the applicant-tracking system — which is why it consistently gets more replies than job-board applications.

How do I get a consulting & staffing internship?
Email consulting & staffing companies directly instead of only applying online. Send a short, specific note to their recruiting inbox, connect one real thing you've done to what they do, and ask if they take interns. FirstInternships has 402 consulting & staffing companies you can reach this way.
Do consulting & staffing companies take interns with no experience?
Many do — especially smaller ones. Reaching out directly and showing genuine interest matters more than prior experience.
