Linking your Employer Account with your Student and or Career Staff Account.

It's possible that you may want to create an Employer account using the same email you use for your Student account. Here's how to do that! 

In order to have both your Student account and your Employer account connect, you may first need to set up Handshake Login Credentials. This is likely because you are currently logged into Handshake using your school's Single Sign On. Employer users do not have access to sign in with SSO for security purposes.

Info
If you already have a Handshake password created, you can skip to the section below to create the employer account. 

Begin by creating your Handshake Login Credentials first. You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Go to https://app.joinhandshake.com/login

  2. Select "sign in with your email address."
  3. Enter your email in the text field
  4. Click Next
  5. Click “Or login using your Handshake credentials”
  6. Select “Forgot your password”
  7. Enter your email address and select reset password
  8. Follow the instructions sent to your email
  9. Create your password, which needs to be at least 12 characters long. When you've set your password successfully, you'll see this page:

    This will not re-create your University Single Sign On Password. This is a completely separate password, used for Handshake purposes only. Once you're able to log into your Handshake account using this newly created password, you can now create your Employer User Account.

    Info

    **Please Note: You will need to sign out of your Handshake account for this next process. You can do this by clicking your name in the top right corner, then click on Sign Out.
