On Handshake, you can create three distinct types of events to connect with early talent in ways that best suit your recruiting strategy.
For instructions on creating a new event, refer to How to Create an Event.
On-Campus Events
An on-campus event is held at a school’s campus, where you will collaborate directly with the school to secure a venue. Examples include information sessions and panel discussions.
Since you will be coordinating with one specific school, ensure you select this school as the 'host' when creating the event. Once you submit the form, the request will be sent directly to the school for approval. Upon approval, students can view and RSVP to the event. Learn more about Accessing Event and Fair RSVPs.
We recommend working closely with the school's career center for any event-related assistance.
Off-Campus Events
An off-campus event is an event held by your organization at a location other than on-campus. Examples of off-campus events include events held at an office or recreation facility.
Basic employers can promote one event per school and must create separate events to request the same event at multiple schools.
*Premium partners can select multiple schools or choose a school list if hosting an event for a group of schools, like HBCUs. Learn more about How to Use School Lists.
Premium features are for Handshake Premium accounts only. For more information, please check out this resource.*
Virtual Events
A virtual event is an event hosted online rather than in person, allowing attendees from multiple locations to join remotely. Examples of virtual events include webinars, online workshops, and virtual information sessions.
