No Matches Found

The message “This job has closed. Matches appear only for jobs that are active at one or more schools.” appears when the job is no longer open. 

Matches display only for jobs that are open and approved at one or more schools. If the application close date has passed or the job was created without being posted to schools, matches will not appear.

Depending on how the job was created and its posting history, one or more of the following options may be available: 

• Renew job

If the option is available, extending the application close date allows the job to be reposted while retaining existing applicants.

To renew the job: 

1. Click the Edit close date link.
2. Update the application close date and save changes.

2. Review and submit the new job posting

The message No top matches appears when top matches are not available for the job.

This may occur if:

What you can do next

Add candidate qualifications
Adding candidate qualifications allows Handshake to identify students who closely align with the job requirements.

To add qualifications:

1. Click the Add qualifications link.

2. Complete the Candidate qualifications section of the job form.

For additional guidance, refer to the Candidate qualifications section in How to Post a Job.

The message "No matches to display" appears when no candidates fully match the filters currently applied to the job.

The Matches tab displays only candidates who meet all selected qualifications. Students may still view and apply to a job even if they do not meet every qualification, which is why applicants may appear even when no matches display.

Matches are based on the education and eligibility details provided in student profiles, including:

• School year and graduation date

• Major groups

• GPA, if required

• Work authorization

If no candidates currently meet all selected criteria, no matches will display. This can occur even if similar jobs received matches in the past, as student profiles and enrollment details change over time.

What you can do next

• Change your qualifications
  Adjusting candidate qualifications can broaden the pool of students who fully match the job. 

To update qualifications:

1. Click the Manage your qualifications link.

2. Navigate to the Candidate qualifications section of the job form.

3. Update one or more of the following criteria as needed:

   • Work authorization

   • School year

   • Graduation date

   • Major groups

   • GPA

For additional guidance, refer to Understanding Job and Candidate Qualifications.
