InternMatch helps potential interns and companies find one another. Students can search for internships in any industry in a geographic area. The site also supplies students with articles and information to help them learn how to excel and keep their internships. Users can set up notifications that alert them when new postings or updates to existing postings are made. Businesses can also use InternMatch, which guarantees a match. Companies who do not find a fitting intern within 60 days are eligible to receive a refund. The site also contains a work-study calculator that helps the employer estimate how much they will be reimbursed for wages paid to interns in their state. Companies can also access listing templates to help them create an accurate listing to attract interns.

InternMatch was founded in June of 2009 by Kyle Wilkinson, Andrew Maguire and Nathan Parcells. The website started out as a tool for companies and interns based in Washington. By September of the following year, InternMatch has increased its service area to span the entire west coast. The website continues to improve its offerings and expand its service area to offer convenient options to students and companies in more cities.
