Every job posting in Handshake has an Apply start date, which is the date students can begin applying for an approved position.
This date is determined by one of the following:
- A custom date set by the job posting creator
- The job posting approval date at your institution, if no Apply start date is specified
- The Apply start date of an interview schedule attached to the posting
Note: If a job posting is approved but the Apply start date is set to a future date, students can access the posting but will not be able to apply.
