The School Network Management page enables you to manage your school connections efficiently, as well as discover new schools to connect with from our 1000+ partner schools.
Features available only to Premium partners are indicated by an asterisk(*). For more information, please check out this resource.
Permission to recruit at each school is maintained at a company-to-school level. This means:
- If you'd like to recruit from a specific school(s), you must request each school individually. The request is reviewed by each school. If you are approved, you can begin to post jobs to the school.
- If your company is declined at a school, you will not be able to recruit there unless the school changes your connection status.
