Ways to Engage
We are happy to work with you to offer both in-person and virtual recruitment opportunities
Handshake enables recruiters to only need one log-in to post with over 400 schools and reach over 8,000,000 students – simplifying the job posting process.
All current students and recent alumni have access to the database. We highly encourage our employer partners to post any full-time positions that require a degree and internships on Handshake.
Once you have completed the registration tasks, we will be able to verify and approve your account. After we have done so, you will be alerted via e-mail and will be able to log in and manage all of your full-time job and internship postings.
Some faculty members are happy to invite employer partners into their classrooms for either a 15-20 minute presentation or an hour-long presentation. If interested, please fill out our inquiry form.
Our team will contact the appropriate faculty to determine if an employer presentation is feasible based on timing and their syllabus.
If interested, please email career@salemstate.edu or call 978.542.6406. Thank you for your consideration and support for our Vikings!
