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.

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 [email protected].
