INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS & RECRUITERS

The transition to Handshake represents a significant milestone in the continuing evolution of our office and the way in which we deliver services to our students, alumni, faculty and staff, and you, the employers who choose to recruit here at the Marshall University.

Handshake was chosen to be the new software engine after our team spent several months reviewing the major career services management systems. We also spent time thinking about how our students and alumni, faculty, and staff, and you, our employers used our current system, as well as looking at what your challenges have been.

One of the biggest improvements you will find when using Handshake is its user-friendly interface. Handshake boasts a clean, modern, and simple design — making it easy to navigate and use. The search tools in Handshake are powerful and offer you the ability to pinpoint and build candidate pools quickly and easily. Communication tools in Handshake will allow you to continue to message our students directly, but added data points will allow you to send them to the right students at the right time in their academic careers. And reporting tools are greatly improved over what was previously available in our old system.

As always, we welcome your questions and feedback. If you need further assistance, please feel free to Erin LaFon, lafone@marshall.edu.
