While it is helpful to provide support in high stress instances, as a default, career practitioners should encourage employers and their respective university relationship managers or direct contacts to take ownership of their Handshake profiles at all levels, which includes updating and creating their Staff Members. This supports employers becoming comfortable with engaging with Handshake for not only our University, but all others they may work with.

Employers can be directed to:

There are no Contact approvals. However, when vetting an employer, User (Staff Member) information should be taken into consideration as part of the employer approval process. See Employers for more information on employer approvals.
