  • PAUSE: DO NOT POST OPPORTUNITIES UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL STATING THAT YOU ARE APPROVED BY THE SCHOOL(S) YOU SELECTED TO POST OPPORTUNITIES

My Employer is already approved to post at OSU:

  • Post job and internship opportunities
  • You will receive an email when your posting has been approved by OSU or any other school(s) you selected

Is your business a franchise of a larger company? If so, you have two options for how to make it stand out in Handshake:

  • OPTION 1: Create a Division within the larger company, highlighting your local office.
     
  • OPTION 2: Create a separate account, not affiliated with the larger company. Click on “Create New Company” on Step 3 of the registration process. You may need to contact Handshake Support to finalize your profile if you share an email domain with the larger company.

On Handshake, you are able to post "personal" jobs. These types of jobs typically include roles such as babysitting, caretaker, tutoring, etc. 

If you'd like to proceed in creating a specific Employer account for your personal job(s), we recommend creating an account with your personal email.

Please note that a Company Profile with a working website is required on Handshake when creating an employer account.

Here's some helpful tips on how to proceed with this: 

  • For a company name, use something like "LASTNAME Family"
  • Use your Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other social media profile as your website to bypass this required field
     

The goal is to show Career Center staff and students that you are a real person despite not having an "official" company, because you will need to be approved by the school(s) you're interested in posting your job to.
