Company Employer Profile
Complete the profile information. When you get to your company information, if your company is already listed, please add yourself as a contact. If your company is not listed, consider setting up a company that has your address, website and phone so students can research where they will be working. Select Create New Company.

Conduct On-Campus Interviews
Want a great pool of candidates to apply to your on-campus interview schedule in Handshake? Outlined below are some ways to be the most effective in your recruitment at UND.
- Simplify your process and use Handshake as your primary source for accepting resumes through the On-Campus Interviews element of Handshake.
- Set-up an interview schedule (on-campus interviews benefit both the employer and the
student). Please make this request at least three weeks in advance of the day you
are interested in interviewing.
- Many companies are recruiting the same group of students so it’s important to make the application process simple and clear. If your organization requires additional steps in the process separate from the application on Handshake such as filling out an external application on your website, selecting location preferences, etc., you can email applicants with directions for how to complete those additional items once they have uploaded their resume for review.
- If you are attending a Career Expo, and use the On-Campus Interviews feature, you may fill additional time slots at the Expo after you’ve reviewed applicants and selected candidates for interviews.
- If you choose to fill your entire schedule at the Expo, please make a Rooms Only request through Handshake. Students will be made aware that you are filling your schedule at the Expo by a mark next to your company name on the career expo map.
- Leave dates open as long as possible. Career expos take place early in the semester,
so students may miss the opportunity to apply if applications close too quickly. We
suggest the following timeline:
- Deadline to Apply: one week before the career expo
- Deadline to make your pre-selections: The day following the “Deadline to Apply”
- Time slots open to students accepted for interviews: two days after “Deadline to Apply”
- Sign up for interview time slots closes on Handshake to students: 8 a.m. the day prior to the expo.
