Employer Approvals

Anchor

There are two-levels of approvals for employers in Handshake.

Level one consists of a default setting found in Employer Approval Preferences that are universal and should not be changed.

Level two consists of manual approvals by Central Career Services and utilize the following standards*:

1. Trust Score <60%; or
2. Decline rate surpasses approval rate; or
3. Staff email domain does not match employer website domain; or
4. Fraudulent Flags present.

That being said, each School or College (S/C) has built their own unique and valued relationships with employers relevant to within their purview. In this case, there may be instances where an upcoming event or similar may need to have an expedited process for approval. When needed, please feel free to utilize the above standards to support your Employer Approval. You can also contact Central Career Services at careers@syr.edu for more guidance.

Employer Notes

Employer Notes can help support long-term relationship building for all career services staff members related to or involved in Employer Relations. One common issue is contacting the same employer multiple times from different schools and colleges.

Often, Employers will become confused or agitated due to the nature of our distributed Career Services model. It is best practice to leverage Notes and tagging (e.g.: "+afcapozz@syr.edu") to notify your team members or team members across campus at other Schools and Colleges of conversations, schedules, event planning, and other employer relations activities you may have had.

This allows for Schools and Colleges to collaborate on relevant Employer meetings with Staff or pace Employer communications so that they are not overwhelmed. The more we are in communication with each other, the more professional we look to our (Syracuse University) Employers.

We’ll use the Jobs tab for this example. This is the same process for this section as well. See also, Employer Management: Sorting Employer Approvals.

First, create your search: Click Jobs on the left-hand navigation bar. You will see toward the left of the screen a list of filters you can use to create the criteria for your search.  Filters include items such as Job Type, Salary Type, School Year, etc.  Select the criteria for your search.  You will see that the list of Jobs change as you narrow your search by adding additional criteria. Next, follow these steps if you’d like to save your search results: Click Save These Filters. Remember, by saving your search you are saving the criteria for the search, not the data the search yielded.  The jobs meeting this criteria could possibly change from day to day. Enter a Name and Description of your search and click Save. Lastly, follow these steps if you’d like to make your search filters your default search filter: Click My Saved Filters. A My Saved Filters window will appear.  Click the three ellipses next to the saved search of your choice. Choose Set as Default. Warning DO NOT PRESS "APPLY FILTERS". Instead, refresh the page. Your search is now your default search. Each time you return to the page, you will only see these set preferences. Feel free to remove certain searches as you need or set new default searches as needed.
