This allows you to submit your materials while the recruiter is still actively managing the initial flow of applications. Reaching out to the right person can also change your experience. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company roles, giving you the chance to contact them directly for a referral or to ask specific questions about the position. This proactive approach often improves your response rate compared to submitting an application into a general queue.
