Handshake is DePaul’s online portal for posting jobs and internships. It is
an interactive recruiting tool for your company’s opportunities. You can learn more about Handshake and how to post a job or internship here.
Our quarterly fairs are open to students and alumni from all majors and offer opportunities to network with a diverse population of potential recruits who are eager to learn about your full-time, part-time, volunteer and/or internship positions.
These events not only offer a great way to recruit qualified candidates, but they allow you to build your campus brand, while strengthening your early talent pipeline.. Candidates seeking both entry-level and experienced positions will be ready to discuss how their skills and knowledge can benefit your organization.
Scheduling on-campus interviews (OCI) at DePaul gives your organization the opportunity to interview a diverse pool of students, with the added bonus of building your campus brand. All interviews are scheduled through Handshake, which eliminates the headache of scheduling multiple interviews. You'll also have our Employer Engagement team on-site to assist in a seamless interview process.
