Check-in with an Employer at an Event or Fair

If you attend a Handshake-partner school and you have an activated, public account — the kiosk will pull information directly from your profile, allowing for a faster check-in! This information may include:

• • • First Name
    • Last Name
    • School Email 
    • School
    • Area of study
    • Graduation date (Month and Year) 

To update the pre-filled information, click the gray button Update Information in the lower-right corner of the square, then make the necessary changes. Click Save Changes to update, or Cancel to ignore the changes. 

If you don't attend a Handshake-partner school, or if your profile is inactivated or private — the kiosk won't be able to pull information from your profile. You'll receive a prompt to enter your information manually. This may include: 

• First Name
• Last Name
• School Email 
• School(select from the dropdown) 
  • My School is not Listed(check this box if your school isn't listed in the dropdown)
• Area of study
• Graduation Date
  • Month (select from the dropdown)
  • Year (select from the dropdown)

Note: other reasons the Kiosk may not pull information from your profile include — not having internet connection on your mobile device or scanning the QR code and choosing to open in a mobile web browser. 

Once your information is added, click the blue button Save Change in the lower-right corner of the screen. 

Each employer is responsible for curating their own checkin questions. 

• If the employer has chosen not to ask for additional information, you can check in immediately by clicking the blue button Check in, located in the lower-right corner of the screen.
• If the employer has requested additional information, either required or optional — the kiosk will prompt you to continue with the checkin process. Click the blue button Next until completed. 

Once you've successfully checked-in, the kiosk will provide a confirmation by stating "Your check in was successful!"

Click the blue button I am done! for the kiosk to return back to the check-in screen. 

When logged into your Handshake account, scan the QR code using the camera on your phone or tap Account in the lower-right corner of the Handshake mobile app, then select Scan QR code for event check-in. 

Note: if you scan the QR code from the Handshake mobile app, you'll need to give the app permission to access your camera. 

After scanning the QR code, a checkin confirmation will display on the screen — tap Done to complete the checkin process. The employer's company profile will load after the checkin is complete.
