Handshake at UW

While Foster Career Services and students may be back on campus, we know that many employers have taken a hybrid approach to their recruitment strategies. Whatever your strategy, Foster Career Services is here to help you navigate this hybrid environment. Please contact [email protected] with any questions or to review your plans.

Intro to Handshake

Handshake is a powerful recruiting platform, enabling employers to connect with talented students and alumni from the University of Washington, as well as thousands of students across the nation via a network of member universities and institutions.

Connecting with the UW on Handshake will allow you to post jobs and internships as well as volunteer opportunities, book on-campus interviews, and promote events completely free of charge to UW students across a wide variety of academic majors on campus. Employers are invited to post internships, part-time, full-time, volunteer, and experienced roles!

Please note: In order to connect with our students, your company will need to have an active profile on Handshake.
