Handshake's Virtual Fair Experience

Hosted entirely within your web browser (Handshake recommends using Chrome or Firefox), Handshake's virtual career fair platform allows you to connect with students/grads in both group and one-on-one sessions. One-on-one sessions occur in 10-minute slots (with video, audio, and text chat available for students/grads). Group sessions occur in 30-minute periods (with text chat available for students/grads). You can share your screen in both group and one-on-one sessions. You also have access to view the Handshake profiles of those signed up for your sessions.

Note: we highly encourage utilizing the 10-minute one-on-one sessions with students. This helps you avoid low group session attendance if one is simultaneously held by a large employer.

Learn the differences between group/one-on-one sessions and see how students/grads sign up for them.

Next Steps

Once your registration has been approved, you'll receive an email from Handshake to set up a fair schedule and add team members to it.

The sooner you create your career fair schedule and add team members, the sooner students/graduates can sign up to connect with you. Learn how to create a career fair schedule.

Important note: Every recruiter attending must have a Handshake account in order to register for the fair and meet students. Learn how to create a free Handshake employer account.

Your organization can bring up to 100 recruiters. There is no additional expense.

If you're part of a Butler office/department and don't yet have a Handshake account—or have a team member who doesn't—please contact Employer Assistant Joey Wohlhieter at jwohlhie@butler.edu or 317-940-8698.
