Connect with Students

The best fall dates to hold your virtual events for our students include Sept. 13th - Oct. 1st and Oct. 12th - Nov. 12th per our academic calendar.

Consider offering a Q&A session on Zoom, hosting a content talk, or scheduling one on one chats with interested candidates.

You can list your virtual events on Handshake by choosing the event type “Virtual” and entering your event URL in the designated space. If you prefer to provide the URL to only those students who RSVP, type “Virtual” as your event location, then send the information to the list of students who register.

We can help you set up your events! Email your event details to SWilliams@lclark.edu and we will market them to our students directly.

Handshake allows you to directly message students who fit your criteria to be qualified candidates. Using filters, you can search for students and share directly about your organizations’ opportunities.

Direct messages can also drive attendees to your events as well as applicants to your jobs.

Handshake has a number of resources to help you explore how to move your recruiting activities online. From webinars to guides and best practices, check out Handshake’s Virtual Toolkit for Employers.
