Job Help for Employers

Join Handshake, NCC's online job board, to post job and internship positions.

  1. Create a Handshake Account

    Visit https://northampton.joinhandshake.com/employer_registrations/new and follow the instructions for creating a free Handshake account. If you already have a Handshake account, please search for and add Northampton Community College under the Schools tab in the left-hand navigation bar. If you have any trouble creating an account, please contact the Center for Career Development for a direct sign-up link.

     

  2. List Job/Internship Vacancies

    After creating your Handshake account, you will be able to post job and internship openings to NCC students. Navigate to the “Job Posting” tab to add your vacancy; you’ll be asked to provide a job description, logistics, pay, requirements, how to apply, and other details. Your posting will be reviewed by the Career Center within three business days. Once approved, the position will be visible to NCC students and alumni.

     

  3. Download Student Resumes and Schedule Interviews

    If you allow students to apply for jobs and internships through Handshake, don’t forget to follow up! Be sure to review their applications, resumes, and notify them if you’d like to schedule an interview or if they have not been selected for the position. As you develop your trust score on Handshake - a tool that rates employers based on profiles completeness, valid web address, and interactions with institutions - you will be able to search and filter for students based on desired qualifications, majors, and skills.
