As an employer account owner, you may occasionally notice suspicious activity in your company profile. This could include duplicate job postings, spam job or event creations, or activity from users who should not have access.
Types of activity to watch for
Duplicate job postings
The same job may appear more than once if a connected teammate also created it.-
Spam job or event creations
Examples include:Jobs or events that don’t represent your company
Irrelevant or inappropriate content (e.g., scam jobs, non-career-related events)
Jobs or events created by teammates without your prior approval
Malicious or unauthorized users
A user appears to be posting jobs or events on behalf of your company without approval.
Deciding what action to take
If you know the teammate and the posting is intentional, no action is needed.
If the posting looks suspicious, irrelevant, or was not created by your team, you should report it to Handshake Support.
Tip: If you’re unsure whether a job or event was created by your team, check with your teammates first. If no one recognizes it, contact Support.
What you should do
If you are a Basic employer Owner
Basic Owners cannot close jobs or cancel events created by other teammates, or deactivate teammates directly. If you notice suspicious activity, contact Support.If you are on another employer account type (On-campus employer, Essentials, Enterprise)
Teammates with the appropriate permissions can take direct actions such as closing jobs or canceling events, while only Owners and Admins can deactivate teammates. Report any suspicious activity to Support so the team can investigate and ensure your account remains secure.
Staying informed
To stay informed about activity in your employer account, owners can keep their notification settings turned on.
Notifications include alerts when:
A new teammate needs approval
A teammate posts a job to a school where you recruit
A teammate creates an event at one of your favorite schools
Review your Default Notification Preferences (Employers).
