With an active job in Handshake, students will be able to search and find the position or event! Filling out as many fields as possible on the 鈥淐reate a Job鈥 form will help students find your job posting. |

Students aren鈥檛 applying to my posts. How can I maximize job posting views and applicants?
There are many ways to get the most of your posting. Here are some suggestions:
- Your job description is the main hook for students. Including specific skills, responsibilities,
minimum and preferred qualifications, and personal or professional growth opportunities
in your description will essentially attract more students to apply.
- Handshake will not allow you to include a salary range in the 鈥渁pproximate salary鈥 section of the job posting form, but we do suggest that you include something in that space. If it is a range depending on experience, choose to put the lowest amount, and then include the range within the job description. If it is salary plus commission, put the minimum salary plus commission in the job description.
- While Handshake allows any student to apply for any job, students can see when they don鈥檛 meet your preferred major qualifications, and that may deter some otherwise competitive candidates from applying. Expanding those qualifications may provide you with a greater pool of candidates and improve your overall recruiting experience with Handshake. 无码变态 has more than 150 majors. Use larger major groups rather than selecting specific majors to attract more students to your job postings in Handshake.
- Make sure your employer profile is complete with website and social media links so
candidates are able to research your organization.
- Employers have the opportunity to contact up to 100 students directly per recruiting
season. Making first contact through Handshake is a great way to start a conversation
with qualified potential candidates.
Did you know if you encourage your student applicants to favorite you as an employer, they can see when you鈥檙e coming to campus, posting new jobs, or attending or hosting events?
