To post a job on Handshake:
1. Start by clicking听Post a Job from your home dashboard:
You will now be asked to complete 4 steps: Job Basics, Job Details, Job Preferences, and Schools to post the job to.听You don't have to fill out every field听to create your job - required inputs听will be identified with an asterisk (*).听Note: the more fields you complete, the more well defined your job posting will be (and the more likely you鈥檒l be to attract well-qualified candidates).
2. Let's start by going through Job Basics:
- Add a听Job Title
- You'll see an option below to add an ATS / job code. If you select this option, you'll听be able to add a tracking code to this job that matches the job on your own external site. It's useful as a reference number, but does not actually provide any additional functionality.
- If your company has听顿颈惫颈蝉颈辞苍蝉听set up, you'll see that option appear right below job title
- Require听students to apply through an external website or applicant tracking system
- If you select "yes" for this option, you'll be able to input a url for them to apply through
- Note, they will still apply through Handshake first, but they will see your link to also apply through your own system as a required step.
- Display your听contact information to students
- If you'd like students to see your name, or your name and email as a point of contact for this job, select either option. Otherwise you can always choose "Don't show my info"
- Add a听Job Type
- Don't see the job type you're looking for? Choose "Show more options", and you'll see options for听Cooperative Education,听Experiential Learning, Fellowship, and听Graduate School
- Add an听Employment Type & Duration
- When听selecting Temporary / Seasonal, you'll need to add both the start and end dates.听

听
- Setting up your Major Preferences
- So by听choosing "Computer Science", I am mapping my major preference to each schools' individual term for "Computer Science"
- Even if it's name听"Software Engineering"听at a different school, it will still get bucketed into this major correctly
- Note:听these majors are consolidated across听every school on Handshake.
- Once you select a category (by clicking on the checkbox next to it), that category will expand to show the majors within it.
- All majors within a category will be selected by default. But I can remove them by simply clicking on the major I'd like to remove.
- In the image below, I've chosen to听remove Library Sciences, User Experience, and Information System Management from the Computer Science category. I see that I've selected 5 of 8 majors.

- This will open up a modal to pick your school and major manually:
- Setting up who should receive听Applicant Packages
- Email a summary - you'll receive one email once your job expires
- Email every time - you'll get emails each time a new student applies. If you choose this option, you can听then specify whether you want every听student who applies, or only students who match all of your preferences (Eligibility for international students, grad date / year,听GPA, and Major).

- If you'd like to post this job to all schools you've been approved at, select "Add All Schools" at the top
- Once you've added schools, you'll see a few options to manage them
- Remove a school - The (-) to the left of each schools allows you to remove it from the list

- Apply start date - you can choose if you'd like to block students from applying to your job until a specific date.
- Expiration date听- you can update the date that the job will expire at that school (and students will no longer be able to apply).
