Handshake and 12 Twenty User Guides

Handshake

Handshake is the platform used by the University of South Carolina to post jobs and internships, review resumes and to manage events for both graduate and undergraduate students. All organizations and individuals interested in recruiting students and recent graduates at the Moore School should create an account on Handshake. The guide below is an overview of how to accomplish the most common tasks in Handshake. 

If you are interested in searching alumni talent, Moore Connect has profiles of thousands of Moore School graduates. You can email recruit@moore.sc.edu to have your position posted to Moore Connect. 

Visit https://sc.joinhandshake.com and click on “Sign Up for an Account.”

Select “Employer” as your account type.

Complete the requested fields to “Sign Up as an Employer,” then check the box agreeing to the “Terms of Service” and acknowledging that you have read the “Privacy Policy.” Once this is complete, click the “Submit” button to continue.

In the next window, please indicate if you are a third party recruiter (i.e., you will be posting on behalf of another company) and agree to the terms and conditions.

Once you have submitted your application, you will be redirected to a confirmation page (you can close this page if you choose). You will need to click on a link contained in a confirmation email you should receive within 5-10 minutes.

Once you have clicked on the confirmation link from the email, you will have confirmed your account and can view the introduction to the Handshake guide.

You now need to connect with the University of South Carolina and any other schools that interest you. Once you locate USC, click “Request to Connect.”

After you have requested the connection, the main university Career Center will need to approve your request. If you have not received approval within 48 hours, you should contact the USC Career Center at 803-777-7280 or career@sc.edu.

When your account has been confirmed, you will need to connect it to your employer’s account. Click on “Find Your Company” and search for your company. Once you find your company, select “Join Company.” If your company has auto approval, you will be joined. If not, you will be placed in pending status until your company approves your account.

Log in to your Handshake account.

Click on “Job Postings” on the left side, and then “New Job” in the upper right corner.

Complete the fields to create a new job.

You can distribute the job posting to one or more universities where you wish to recruit by using the "Schools" tab. Select "University of South Carolina" in the options to post the job for USC students and alumni.

All jobs will need to be approved by the Career Center before they can be seen by students.

For a job posting walk-through in Handshake, we recommend viewing their video and guide to posting jobs.

Teammates can create their profiles and then you can manually approve them as they come in. You’ll see a notification at the top of your Handshake navigation bar. You can also set accounts to auto-approve as long as they have the same email domain. For example, your account could automatically approve all accounts that have the domain @email.sc.edu. 

You can invite a teammate to join your team by:

  • Clicking on your name in the top right corner of any page on Handshake
  • Click on "Teammates"
  • This will take you to the Teammates page where you can click on the “Copy Invite Link” button at the top right quadrant of the page
  • You can then choose the invitee's role and copy a link to send to the teammate you wish to invite


 If a contact has NOT started the account creation process, you can add them manually:

  • Click on "Teammates"
  • This will take you to the Teammates page, where you can click on the “Add Teammate Manually” button at the top right quadrant of the page
  • Fill out the required fields on the page that loads: email, first name, and role (other fields can be filled out, but these three are required)
