On-Campus Employers (OCEs) must select an associated institution when setting up their employer accounts. This designation helps connect the OCE to your institution and streamlines different processes in Handshake.
The following can be found when you create a new employer or in the edit company details page for an existing employer.
If you set up an account for an On-Campus Employer, you are unable to designate an institution. Only the individual with the Owner role can designate the institution for their OCE account. This setting is available in the Global Settings section of the OCE account. This can be changed at any time, however, Employers set as an on-campus employer must designate the institution they are associated with in their Global Settings, and they can change which institution they are associated with at any time.
On-campus employers can post on-campus employment jobs on Handshake to the institution they are associated with, and you will be able to make changes to their account, including:
- update or change the title and location on the employer account
- transferring ownership at their request (On-campus Employers: Change Owner)
- post or edit jobs on their behalf (Acting on Behalf of Employers: Posting a Job)
- as long as a job has been posted to only your institution, you may make changes to the job type for that posting
Note: If your institution is not listed as the associated institution for the OCE, you will not be able to take actions on the employer's behalf (i.e. the title and location fields will be locked, unable to post or edit jobs, manage staff, etc.). Because this setting can only be changed by the OCE's company owner, you'll need to reach out to the owner directly for them to list your institution as the associated institution.
You can learn more about this from the employer's perspective in the Connect with your institution section of the On-Campus Employment in Handshake employer article.
