Recruiting on Handshake - Posting Jobs & Internships

Why Handshake?

Handshake is a trusted resource designed specifically for early talent recruitment. With over 9 million active student and alumni users, the platform enables employers to connect with a diverse talent pool from BW and beyond.

Handshake's founding principle of democratizing the job search process aligns with the BW Career Center's commitment to ensuring that all students have equitable access to connections and experiences. We request that employers post positions via Handshake so that all potentially interested students and alumni can view and apply for these opportunities.

Getting Started with Handshake

The first step is to create an employer account and connect with BW.

You can then post jobs and internships, search and message candidates, and request on-campus and virtual recruiting events.

Handshake Tips:

After you have created a Handshake account, you will need to add Handshake to your safe senders list on your email to ensure that Handshake messages will not go into your junk folder.
Handshake Academy has great online training to help you get acquainted with the features.
When in doubt, search support articles within the platform.

Internships for Academic Credit

Hosting An Intern

Thank you for your interest in working with Baldwin Wallace to host an internship at your company. We ask that you post your internship opportunities via Handshake so that all potentially interested students can view and apply for these opportunities. Please see On-Campus Recruiting for additional ways to promote your internship opportunities at BW.

Employer's Responsibility to Interns

Employers are responsible for working with the student to create a plan for the student to fulfill their stated goals for the internship. These goals are set by the student and their Faculty Coordinator. The Employer must provide the student with a safe, productive, and fair work environment, following the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employers are also responsible for providing students with an Employer Supervisor who will work directly with the student to approve, supervise, and evaluate the internship and serve as the contact point between the Company and the Internship and On-Campus Recruiting Coordinator.

Given the Career Center's commitment to equal access to opportunity, we do not encourage or promote unpaid internships. Although unpaid experiences can help aspiring professionals gain skills, they contribute to inequality by disadvantaging under-resourced students. Exceptions may be made for non-profit organizations at the discretion of Career Center staff when consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
