How to Post a Job to Additional Schools

Jennifer
  • Updated

You can post a job to additional schools in Handshake at any time, as long as the job is in draft or active status.

Your ability to post a job to more schools depends on your employer account type and whether you created the job posting.

  • Basic employers: Owners and Recruiters can post to additional schools only for jobs they have personally created. Jobs created by teammates are view-only and cannot be modified.

    • To post jobs to additional schools for postings you did not create, you must upgrade to an eligible paid plan.

  •  On-campus employers, Plus, Pro, Essentials and TES customers: All users, except Representatives, can post jobs to additional schools, whether created by themselves or a teammate, provided they have the appropriate permissions. 

If the posting is saved but not yet posted, refer to How do I post a 'not posted' job to a school?.

Features marked with an asterisk (*) are available only to Premium partners. For more information, please check out this resource.

The ability to add more schools depends on the job posting details and your approval status with the desired schools. Jobs cannot be posted to additional schools if:

  • The job’s opening date is within the past year, but the closing date is more than a year after the opening date.
    • To post the job to more schools, update the closing date to fall within 365 days of the opening date.
    • Learn more about Updating Job Posting Dates.
  • The job’s opening date is over a year ago, and the closing date is more than a year after the opening date.
  • Your company has been declined by the school(s).

If a school is missing from search results

If you type the full name of a school and it does not appear in the search results, review the following:

Confirm you are using the correct Handshake instance:
The UK and US platforms operate separately. Schools available in one environment will not appear in the other.

If your account was created in the UK environment, US schools will not appear, and vice versa.

If you are in the correct instance:
A school may still not appear for one of these reasons:

  • The school is not partnered with Handshake.

  • Your company has been declined by the school.

  • Your company is approved but your connection does not include permission to post jobs to that school.

 

 

Job posting approval 

Once the job is posted, each selected school will review and process the request. Read more in Understanding Job Posting Approvals.
