Which application systems do summer 2027 internships use?
Of the 6,877 summer 2027 internship postings in ApplyBolt's job index from August 1, 2026 to November 7, 2026, 30.3% take applications through Workday, 8.9% through Greenhouse and 7.7% through iCIMS. Another 21.9% go to a company's own careers site, and the other 31.2% are spread across 30 systems, led by Oracle Recruiting Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors.
What this means for your applications
The system behind the form decides how long an application takes. Workday asks you to create an account for each company, and many Workday forms make you retype your resume into their fields. Greenhouse and Lever applications are usually a single page with no login. If your list looks like ours, about 30.3% of it is on Workday, so expect those to take the longest, and keep a password manager entry for each company.

How we counted
We included every internship posting in our index from August 1, 2026 to November 7, 2026 whose title says intern or co-op and that targets summer 2027. Each posting counts once, by its apply link, however many users saw it. We read the system from the apply link's web address. Links to a company's own careers site that don't match a known system are listed as "company site / unknown". Our index leans toward US tech, finance and engineering roles, so this isn't a count of every internship.
A posting targets summer 2027 when it says so ("Summer 2027", "June 2027") or has 2027 in its title without naming another term, such as Spring 2027 or Fall 2026. Employers' own hiring sites (Amazon, Meta, Tesla) count as company sites, and systems with fewer than 20 postings are grouped as other. Dates are when the posting went up, or when we first saw it.
