How to recruit from Canada to U.S. Without Visa?

Title says it all. How should someone from Canada with prior experience recruit for internships in the U.S. without having a Visa to work in the states? Should I apply for a visa now? Should I first see if I even get interviews? 

Appreciate the advice.
