How to get started:
Ready to use Handshake to hire IUP students? Sign up for Handshake.
- Complete your employer profile: Handshake will ask you for some information on your company.
- Make sure to use a company-issued email address to register. If your company uses a generic email domain (e.g., @gmail.com, @yahoo.com) or you are posting a personal care/assistant job (babysitting, caretaker, etc.) or you are registering on behalf of another user, click the links to see information on how to complete your profile.
- Once you have completed your profile, you will be sent a link to verify your email (this may take up to 10 minutes to arrive). You will then be directed to complete a company profile.
