Handshake for Employers
Join over 500K registered employers, from start-ups to nonprofits to enterprise corporations, in a network that will allow you to share job posting and register for events effectively and efficiently. Here's how it can benefit your company:
- Level up your recruiting by seamlessly posting to multiple schools, including CBC, at once instead of creating separate job posts for each school.
- Register and attend CBC recruiting events, such as virtual career fairs, meet and greets, etc.
- Handshake employer partners can proactively search and engage with over seven million students and recent alumni whose profiles have been verified by their college career centers.
- Create multiple accounts per employer to work seamlessly and empower everyone in your team rather than using one shared account.
