This article explains how Career Services users can send an invitation link to staff members to register and join an on-campus employer account in Handshake.
Before you begin
If the on-campus employer does not yet have a company profile in Handshake, you may create one on their behalf. For instructions, refer to Acting on Behalf of Employers: Creating a Company Profile.
Send an invitation link
1. From the left navigation bar, click Employers under Relationships.
2. Click the [Your School's] Network tab.
3. Click Filters, then check On-campus employer under the Other section in the filter panel.
4. Click the black Apply button in the lower right corner. The table will update to show only on-campus employers.
5. Click the name of the on-campus employer to which you want to invite staff.
6. On the employer profile, click the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner, then select Edit from the dropdown.
7. On the edit page, click Staff Management from the left menu.
8. Click the gray Invite Link button.
9. Copy the registration link by clicking the copy icon next to the link.
10. Share the link with the staff members you want to invite.
Any user who registers using this link will automatically be connected to the employer account upon completing registration.
If the invited user has an existing student account
Staff members who already have a Handshake student account may encounter a permission error when opening the employer invite link if they are still logged into their student account.
To avoid this, they should:
1. Log out completely from their student account.
2. Open the employer registration link in an incognito or private browser window, or clear their browser cache to avoid login conflicts.
3. When creating their employer account, use the same password associated with their existing student account.
Note: This is not the same as their school SSO login password.
For detailed guidance, refer the user to How to Create an Employer Account Linked to Your Student Account.
