Section I: Create an Employer Account

Step One: Getting Started

• Visit the Handshake Registration Page and enter your corporate email address and desired password, then Sign Up. Company profiles are linked to an email domain, so signing up with your work email will help ensure you're connected with the right company.

Step Two: Enter Identifying Information

Enter the following information, then click on Next: Employer Guidelines.

Note: none of this information will be public to students unless you determine to make your profile public.

• First Name
• Last Name
• Phone Number: this is a free text field, format as desired
• Job Title: This is your personal job title, and not the job that you are recruiting for
• Types of students you're interested in recruiting on Handshake

There is not a way to add to this list, and the selections you make here do not hinder your ability to recruit students in any way, it's simply used for data purposes.

• Alma Mater & Graduation Year: If your Alma Mater is partnered with Handshake, this will create a contact entry for you at your Alma Mater, listed as an Alumni contact.

Note: Do not select which schools you're interested in recruiting from here.

A popup will load with the Employer Guidelines, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy.

Click on either Yes or No after the question "Are you a 3rd party recruiter working on behalf of another company?", then, click Next: Confirm Email.

• If you are a third party recruiter select answer Yes, then review and check the box to agree to Handshake's third party recruiter policy to move forward.

• If you are not a third party recruiter, select No.

Step Three: Verify Your Account

• The next page contains instructions on how to verify your account via the email address you provided.
• The email should arrive within 10 minutes and will contain a link enabling you to confirm your account.
• You must click this link before you can proceed with the registration process.

• When the email arrives, click the Confirm Email button to verify your account.

• When you click Confirm Email in your confirmation email, you will be brought back to Handshake. At this point, you'll need to either connect with an existing company profile or create a new company profile if yours doesn't exist in our system. The determination is based on the email you signed up with.
• If your company already exists in our system, the screen will display a list of company profiles associated with your email domain. If there is more than one, review the details for each profile. Click Request to connect with that company profile and then select Next: Connect to Schools.
• If you cannot find the correct company profile to connect with, click on contact us, under the "Not your company?" heading on the right. This will allow you to submit a ticket to our Support Team for further assistance.

• If no company pre-populates, you can use the search bar to find your company.
• If your company does not exist, you can click the Create New Company button on the right.

Step Four: Connect with Colleges & Universities

• Once you've requested to connect with or created a new company profile, you will be prompted to choose schools to connect to.
• Use the filters on the right side of the screen to narrow down schools by rank, region and location, or search for specific school names in the search bar at the top of the list.
• To request to connect with individual schools, click the + button to the right of the school. Then click Next: Finish.

You can also toggle the dropdown on the right between per year / per month / per hour, or mark the job as an unpaid position

• Finally, if you'd like for a student to submit documentation in Handshake, you can select Required documents which will be required for students to submit with their application.

TIP: If you're having students apply via your Direct ATS and don't want them to apply in Handshake at all, we recommend not selecting any documents here. If checked, these documents will prompt an applicant to first apply with these in Handshake.

Note: if documents are not required on the job, then you will be unable to select a contact to receive applicant notifications, and your contact information will not be displayed on the job.

• Once you're finished with Job Details, select Next, or click directly on the Job Preferences tab.

Note: all of these preferences are completely optional, and none of the preferences you add to this page will block students from applying for your job. We will show you candidates that meet all of your preferences, and those who don't. You can learn more in our article on Job Preferences.

• Finally, configure who should receive Applicant Packages, and with what frequency.

Note: If you have not required a document type from applicants, this option will not appear.
