Recruit a Thunderbird

Connect directly with students and alumni via Thunderbird’s online job board, Handshake. Handshake is a recruiting platform that allows employers to post full-time degree-related career positions and professional internships, sign up for events, schedule recruiting visits and more. It is free to create an account and post positions.

Next steps:

If your company doesn’t already utilize Handshake you can create an account through Handshake, connect to ASU and begin posting internships and full-time roles.

Thunderbird alumni also have access to post positions via T-bird Connect under the “Jobs & Career” tab.

If you need assistance with posting a position via either platform please reach out to us at employer.relations@thunderbird.asu.edu.
