Who We Are

Headquarted in New York City, RecordSetter is an interactive media company building a global brand centered around human achievement. Built on a philosophy that everyone can be world’s best at something, we’re creating what The Next Web calls "this generation’s Guinness World Records.” Our growing site hosts over 15,000 world records submitted from more than 65 countries. In just three years, we’ve already collected the largest collection of world record videos online.

Our core belief is that everyone can be a champion. That's how we’re manage our company, too. From interns to developers, everyone on the RecordSetter team is encouraged bring their thoughts to the table. Fresh ideas are always welcome. Big egos are not. We’re looking for the best and brightest to help us succeed.

Though we work extremely hard, fun is a big part of our spirit. Yes, there will be late nights, but there will also be parties, team adventures, guest speakers, and cold beers in the fridge. Our goal is to build a work culture respected for its balance of productivity and enjoyment.

Internships

RecordSetter is poised squarely at the intersection of digital media, publishing, pop culture and entertainment. We're looking for superstar interns to come join our young, energetic team and help us create a media company of the future.

"Being able to intern at RecordSetter my last semester was a fantastic opportunity. I am grateful to Dan Rollman for giving me the chance to work on the Book of World Records. I learned so many things, not just with Team Book but also got a front seat to see how the website and company was run as well. Now that I've graduated, I'm excited to find another opportunity where I get to take all the skills that I learned at Recordsetter and turn them into a job."

-Caitlin Walsh, Editorial Intern Spring 2010
