If you've connected to the wrong company, or no longer work for the company you're connected with, you can disconnect yourself from the company in Handshake and connect to the right one.
Leaving a company
1. To begin, click on your name in the upper-right corner of any page, then select User settings from the dropdown.
2. On the Account Information tab, navigate to the section Leave Employer, followed by "Is [COMPANY NAME] not your employer? You can leave them and connect with a different employer account."
3. Click the hyperlinked text "leave them and connect with a different employer account" to leave your company profile in Handshake.
4. In the pop-up modal, confirm the action by clicking the blue button OK.
- To remain connected to the current company, click the white button Cancel.
5. Once confirmed, you will be redirected to either request to join an existing company or create a new company profile.
What happens to my existing jobs, events, or fair registrations?
When you leave a company profile in Handshake, any items you created (such as job postings, events, or fair registrations) remain tied to the company, not your individual account.
If you do not want these to remain active, update them before disconnecting:
-
Close any job postings you created.
Learn how to Close a Job Posting.
-
Cancel or delete events you have scheduled.
Read more about Canceling or Deleting an Event.
-
Cancel any career fair registrations you submitted.
Refer to Canceling a Career Fair Registration.
Note: After disconnecting, you will no longer be able to manage these items. Make any necessary updates before leaving. If you were the only user connected to the profile and did not update these items before disconnecting, contact Support.
