How to Create a Handshake Job Posting

To foster equitable employment and ensure legal compliance, all new and vacant hourly campus jobs must be posted on Handshake for all students to view and apply. Job descriptions in each posting must adhere to the required template.

All postings undergo review and approval from the GCC’s Campus Employment team before being made public and open to applicants. The turnaround time for job posting approvals is generally 2-3 business days, though up to 3-5 business days during busy periods (August – September, January – February).

Following these steps will expedite your job posting approval.
