How to get in at Nike
Applying to Nike early provides a distinct advantage because recruiters often review candidates as they arrive. Intern Insider sends an instant alert the moment a role matching your target is published, so you can submit your application before the applicant pile grows. This helps you stay ahead of the crowd in a competitive process. You should also look for the recruiters behind the company roles to reach out directly. Intern Insider surfaces these specific contacts so you can ask about the role or a referral, which materially improves your response rates compared to submitting into a general queue.
