Suggested schools

After selecting at least one filter, a section will load at the top of the page to display the top suggested schools and the total number of schools.

Note: only schools that have partnered with Handshake will be displayed.

Additional filters can be applied:

  • Exclude schools already in Favorites
  • Exclude schools you’re approved at
  • Exclude schools you’re not approved at

Schools will be listed in order of the number of students that match all the selected filters.

Your company's connection status with the school is displayed on the far right of the school's name.

  • Chose job: you're not yet connected to the school. Click the white button Chose job to post a job to the school. Upon job approval, you will be automatically connected with the school.
  • In Favorites: you're connected with the school, and you've added the school to your Favorites list.
  • Add to Favorites: you're connected with the school, but the school has not been added to your Favorites list. Click the gray button Add to Favorites to add the school to your Favorites list.
