Getting Started with Handshake: Employers

Post a Job or Internship

To post a job or internship opportunity on Handshake, simply follow these instructions: 

1. Post Your Job or Internship Opportunity on Handshake
2. Wait for your posting to be approved Oregon Tech uses an approval process to make sure appropriate postings are available to our students on Handshake. Some job postings will be automatically approved if they meet certain criteria. If your posting is not automatically approved, it will be reviewed by a member of the Career Services team. This process can take 1-5 business days. If you feel your job was declined in error, please use the comment feature in Handshake, or contact Career Services.
3. Promote your posting to students You can use Handshake's Job Matches feature to find qualified talent. You can also use Handshake to message students, (students who set their privacy features to the strictest settings will not be available to message.) Finally, attending a career fair is a great way to promote your Handshake posting.
4. Hiring F1 Students or Alum Students attending Oregon Tech as F1 international students are eligible for a variety of professional training opportunities during their time as a student and after graduation through the Practical Training programs. Please see additional information.
