FAQs

How do I know if my company is already on Handshake?

You will use your company-issued email address to register. Handshake uses email domains to search for similar companies with the same email domain. If there is a match, you will be given the option to join the company that is already in Handshake or, if that isn’t your company, create a new account.

How long after I create an account can I begin posting my jobs?

Once your account has been verified by the account owner, you will be able to post your jobs. This is usually within a matter of minutes.

Where can I go if I need help with creating my employer account?

If you have questions about creating your employer account in Handshake, you can contact either Handshake Support at https://support.joinhandshake.com/hc/en-us or Teresa Dwyer in the Indiana State University Career Center at Teresa.Dwyer@indstate.edu.
