Connecting Employers with Hawkeye Graduates

Thank you for taking an interest in Hawkeye Community College’s students and graduates.

At Hawkeye Community College, we use Handshake, a powerful platform that connects employers like you with our students and alumni. Here are some of the key benefits of using Handshake:

• It’s free to use.
• Post job listings to multiple schools from one account.
• Search student and alumni profiles.
• Post full-time, part-time, seasonal, and internship jobs.

Getting Started with Handshake

During sign-up, you’ll be prompted to connect with schools. Be sure to select Hawkeye Community College and any other institutions you wish to reach.

One of the great features of Handshake is that only one company account is needed to recruit at any school on the platform—this includes colleges across Iowa, the U.S., and even the U.K.!

Handshake offers quickstart guides to help you get up and running with ease:

• Watch the Quickstart Employer Guide on YouTube.
• Read the article Getting Started with Handshake: Employers in the Handshake Help Center.
• Visit Handshake's Help Center for answers to your questions and further assistance.
