Users connected to a Basic employer account can take ownership of job postings that are imported into Handshake.
Imported jobs do not have an assigned owner by default. Any user connected to the employer account, with the exception of representatives, may claim ownership to manage and review applicants for that job.
Note: This feature is currently only available for Basic employers.
Taking ownership
1. Click Jobs from the left navigation bar in Handshake.
2. On the Jobs page, click the Owner filter. From the dropdown menu, select Jobs without owners, then click the black button Apply.
3. The job list will update to show only jobs that do not have an assigned owner. These jobs display 'No owner' in the Job owner column. In the updated list, select the job you want to take ownership of.
4. At the top of the job posting page, a banner will appear with the message “This job has no owner. To manage and review applicants, take ownership of this job.”. Click the black button Take ownership.
5. After you take ownership, a confirmation message will appear in the lower-right corner of the page “Ownership claimed. You are now the owner of this job.”.
Once confirmed, you are the job owner and can manage the posting and review applicants.
