Handshake
To promote open positions to students and alumni, the Office of Career Education invites employers to use Handshake, an online job database. Registration and posting jobs are always free. We have over 2000 employers, both national and international, and over 7000 students/alumni registered to use Handshake in their search for part-time, full-time, and internship positions.
Registration can be completed simply and quickly using the instructions below.
Directions for New Employer Accounts
To access Handshake, a user account is required.
-
- If you have received an invitation from Marshall University, you can create an account by clicking the link provided in the invitation email.
- If you haven’t received an invitation, you can register at https://app.joinhandshake.com/employer_registrations/new.
After confirming your email, you’ll be prompted to search for your company on Handshake. You can either:
- Request to join your company’s existing profile, or
- Create a new company profile if your company is not already on Handshake.
If your company is already on Handshake, it will appear as an option to select. If it does not appear, you will have the opportunity to create a new profile. Learn How to Create a New Company Profile.
Tips:
- Use your corporate email address if you have one. This will not only ensure that your company profile displays as an option to connect with if the company is on Handshake, but it can expedite the approval process.
- Request to join your company rather than a school you want to recruit from. On-campus employers are the exception to this rule. Example: if you want to recruit from Marshall, don’t select Marshall as your company. Instead, choose to post a job to Marshall once you have access to your account and can select schools to post your job to.
