The Institution Network Management page enables you to manage your university connections efficiently, as well as discover new institutions to connect with from our partner institutions.
Permission to recruit at each institution is maintained at a company-to-institution level. This means:
- If you add an institution to your Favourites list that your company is already approved at, you'll automatically be able to recruit there.
- If you add an institution your company has never requested to recruit at before, an approval request will go out to that institution. You will need to wait until you are approved by the institution to recruit there.
- If your company has already been declined at an institution, you will not be able to recruit there unless the institution changes your status to approved.
To access Institution Network Management, click Institutions on the left navigation bar in Handshake. All employers will have access to Favourite Institutions (for Premium partners, this is Institution Lists), Your Employer's Institutions, and More Institutions on Handshake. Premium partners also have access to a fourth tab, Institution Explorer.
Topics:
Each topic section includes a breakdown of the page functionality and available filters.
Favourite schools
Institutions that have been favourited are listed in the Favourites tab. This list of institutions is the list you may select to post a job to, host an interview with, or attend an event/fair.
- Tip: If your company profile is approved to recruit at an institution, but you aren't seeing that institution as an option (or are missing applicants or attendees), make sure you have the institution added to your Favourites!
Page Filters
Use the filters on the left of the Favourites page to narrow down the displayed list of institutions. Core employers (employers with free accounts) have access to the following filters:
- Keyword search
- Permissions
- This defines how you are able to interact with the institution in Handshake. For example, if you do not have permission to post a job, you will not see that institution as an option to post to.
- Location
- Community and Technical Colleges
- Ranking
- Size
- Region
Handshake Premium Partners have access to Institution Lists via this page.
Removing institutions from Favourites
- Note: removing institutions from Favourites will only affect your personal user account. Your employer (company profile) will still remain approved at this institution.
To remove a single institution from your Favourites, click the grey Remove button to the far right of the institution name. A confirmation will load with the institution name - click the red Remove button to confirm.
To remove multiple institutions from your Favourites, check the box to the left of each institution name, then click the bulk action Remove in the upper-right of the table. A confirmation will load with a count of institutions selected - click the red Remove button to confirm.
View all approved institutions
At the top of this page, to the immediate right of the Favourites tab, is Your Employer’s Institutions. This includes all institutions that your company is approved to recruit at, as well as provides the option to add more institutions to your Favourites.
You can add institutions one at a time by clicking on Add To Favourites to the far right of the institution name, or you can add multiple institutions by selecting the checkbox to the left of the institution name, then clicking Add to Favourites in the upper-right corner of the institutions section.

Handshake Premium partners have access to an additional filter, Institution Type, on this page. This filter includes Minority-Serving Institutions (nationally recognised colleges and universities that educate students of colour), and Women's Colleges (undergraduate, bachelor's degree-granting institutions whose student populations are composed exclusively or almost exclusively of women).
Request to connect with more institutions
If you’d like to connect with more institutions on Handshake, click the tab More Institutions on Handshake, the third tab at the top of this page, to the immediate right of Your Employer's Institutions. This page includes institutions that are currently pending connection with your company, institutions your company has not yet requested, as well as any institutions that have previously declined to connect.
To request a new institution, click on the grey Request button to the far right of the institution name.
When you click request, a confirmation will popup with a default selection to add the institution to Favourites if approved. Uncheck the box to only request the institution (and not add to Favourites if approved). Click the green Request button to send the request to the institution.
