How We Support the #1 Rated Intern Program in the Country
Intern housing isn’t just logistics—it’s leverage. When done well, it creates standout experiences, strengthens your employer brand, and supports real conversion outcomes. When done poorly, it costs your team time, talent, and credibility.
That’s why the #1 ranked intern program in the U.S. turned to Switchplace—and why we’re proud to be the team behind the scenes delivering results that truly move the needle.
The Housing Challenge
This Fortune 50 financial institution came to us with a clear mission:
Elevate the intern experience. Reduce the internal burden. Maintain their top ranking.
But their current housing solution was falling short. Interns lacked support, comfort, and a sense of welcome. Internal teams were overwhelmed managing fragmented logistics. And with tight inventory in a competitive urban market, pressure was mounting.
What they needed wasn’t just a vendor.
They needed a housing partner who could:
- Deliver a premium, consistent experience across every unit
- Provide real-time support and personalized service
- Take housing logistics completely off their plate
- Create a first impression interns would remember—for all the right reasons
The Switchplace Solution
We built a fully managed, high-touch housing experience—designed to support both interns and the internal team. Here’s what made the difference:
- Dedicated Account Management with weekly check-ins and proactive oversight
- Onsite Move-In Support, so interns were met with real people—not just key instructions
- Curated Welcome Kits and local guides to help them settle in fast
- Roommate Matching and move-in ready, fully furnished units
- 24/7 In-House Support—no outsourcing, no delays
- Rapid Maintenance Resolution, tracked from start to finish
- Inventory Procurement in a tight market, handled start to finish by our team
From the first point of contact to the final move-out, we delivered a seamless, buttoned-up experience. The internal team focused on engagement and outcomes—we handled everything else.
The Results
Intern feedback confirmed what the HR team felt: the experience was a win.
