Handshake is a powerful recruitment tool through which an employer can not only post positions, but can also identify qualified candidates, receive career center communications, and manage on and off-campus recruitment activities. Connecting with UTA on Handshake is the first, and most important, step in promoting a job opening or internship to UTA students/alumni. Once your employer profile is approved, your organization will be able to post positions as well as participate in our recruitment opportunities. For information on how to register, check out our Registration & Posting Approval page.

You must be connected and approved on Handshake prior to utilizing any UT Arlington Career Development Center's employer services.

If you are a partner employer who is connected with us on Handshake, you can post and advertise your organization’s upcoming events on Handshake to be shared with UTA students and alumni. Find a step-by-step guide on posting events on Handshake here.

Event Approval Policy

• Employers must be connected and approved with us on Handshake in order to post events.

• The event posted must deal with recruitment, student education about your organization (such as a webinar), networking, interviewing or hiring.

• The title of the event must be clear and descriptive. 

• The event must have a start and end date and time.

• The event must have a valid URL, if virtual, or physical address, if in-person, where students can attend.

• The event must have a descriptive and discernable thumbnail. This can be either an organizational logo or event logo. 

• The description of the event must include pertinent information such as, pre-registration links, deadlines to register, documents and items necessary for the students to have present, as well as a short description regarding the nature of the event.

• No events will be accepted which require an up-front cost to the student.

• A UTA representative will communicate with the employer via Handshake if any of the above guidelines need to be addressed with the event posted. 

• UTA representatives have final say on the approval or decline of an employer event on Handshake.

Benefits

• This new feature allows for an expedited approval turnaround!
• For Handshake Premium Partners, event campaigns allow you to send many messages at once. The message will link directly to the event on Handshake and allow for seamless tracking of registrants. Check out Campaigns: Create and Manage a Campaign or How to Send a Job or Event Campaign to learn more!
• Employers will be able to include the URL to the public event in campaigns (emails to students within Handshake), and campaign recipients will be able to access and register for the event directly via the URL. (This workflow previously existed with Premium Employers advertising for events using third party services, so this change brings the benefit of tracking those event types within Handshake).

Best Practices

• If you already have active and open events on Handshake, invite UTA talent by sharing your event!
• If the event is virtual, use the ‘Virtual Session’ event type when creating the event on Handshake. This allows you to include a URL instead of a ‘location.’ 
• Keep it current! If there are any changes made to your event, be sure to revisit the posting on Handshake and include the updated information. 
• Communicate with pre-registrants. It’s always a good idea to send a reminder e-mail to pre-registrants for your events with any links, new information, or updates.

• Use this link to share virtual event search with students/alumni.  
• Bulk e-mail targeted student/alumni populations to notify them of the upcoming events! 
• Follow-up with attendees. This reminds participants of the event and allows for an additional connection point with your organization. 
• Make registration deadlines clear upfront.

Employers are invited to set up an on-campus information table to build brand awareness and recruit students for full and part-time jobs and internships. This is a great opportunity to display and distribute organizational information, as well as network and screen qualified candidates.

Request an Information Table here.

On-campus (in-person) information sessions allow employers to speak with students and alumni about their organization, their industry, the types of positions they have to offer, what they are looking for in a candidate, and answer questions.

Request an Information Session here.

Campus facilitated interviews are a convenient and efficient way to interview multiple students/alumni either virtually or in-person on-campus in just one day. Traditional recruiting cycles are February- April and September-November, but employers may schedule interviews at any time.

Requesting Campus Facilitated Interviews Overview. 

Campus Flyers help employers increase their brand awareness and visibility on-campus without being present. Promote upcoming on-campus visits or remote events, as well as job and internship openings. Please note in order to post flyers on campus about a position and/or upcoming event, the position/event must be approved in Handshake.

Review this example and submit this form to be reviewed and posted.

Please note, as shown in the example, the university requires a 2x2 blank space on the bottom right-hand corner for stamping approval.

Employers can increase their visibility on campus by offering to make presentations to student clubs, organizations and other campus groups. We are creating a directory to make available to key contacts on campus to serve as speakers for their meetings, programs and events including Career Development Center events.

Request to join by filling out this form.

The University has more than 300 student organizations, and many are related to specific degree programs. Meeting with such groups, on campus or virtually, allows employers the opportunity to share their knowledge about the industry, present a workshop on a relevant topic, or sponsor an event.
