Info for Employers

Read Saint Joseph's job posting policy for employers and instructions on how to post a job on Handshake. 

The Career Center offers employers the option to use Handshake as a tool to schedule on-campus and virtual interviews with students. Through Handshake, you can pre-select candidates to interview. Please refer to this Handshake article for instructions on posting your interview schedule. Please follow the same instructions for posting both on-campus and virtual interview schedules. You can distinguish your virtual interview schedule by adding the word "VIRTUAL" to your interview schedule name.

• On-Campus Interviews: The Career Center provides employers with a professional setting to interview St. Joe's students who are candidates for internships or jobs.
• Virtual Interviews: Once scheduled through Handshake, the Career Center allows employers to conduct interviews on the platform of your choice (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc).

Whether you are actively recruiting for open positions or you are interested in maintaining a strong presence on campus, Saint Joseph's University Career Fairs are a great opportunity to meet students across all majors and class years.

Many students also have public profiles on Handshake. In order to use the site as a tool to search for student/alumni candidates, you should log in to Handshake, select "Search Students" from the left-hand navigation menu and then use the filters on the left-hand side of the page to search.

Be sure to filter on the school name, "Saint Joseph's University." Then, you will also be able to search on student class year, major, graduation date and GPA.  

Be sure to search using the full word “Saint.” For step-by-step instructions, check out this guide.

Please allow 2 business days for employer and job posting approvals.

We have an extensive vetting process for employers to protect students from companies who have phishing or otherwise unethical practices. We may ask for you to provide a copy of your business license or otherwise prove the existence of your company at any point in this process. The reasons for being declined can include any of the following:

• Not including a full company address
• Using an email address with a domain that is different than the company website
• Not including a company website
• Being an in-home employer
• Having a very low trust score
• You are a third-party recruiter
• Not including appropriate student qualifications in job description for job posting
• Violating the Fair Labor Standards Act

No, this service is free to employers.

We charge a small fee of $25.00 for coffee chats, information sessions and information tables. Virtual information sessions and coffee chats are free.

Pre-select schedules should be requested at least three weeks prior to the interview day. This allows enough time for the Career Center to generate awareness about the position and for students to submit applications.

Saint Joseph’s University has partnered with app-based job portal QuadJobs for all in-home or project-based job opportunities for our students. Employers can hire students for part-time and one-time jobs in the communities surrounding campus as well as for jobs that can be done remotely. Employers can communicate with and pay students directly through the app. While the service is free for all students, a small service fee will be charged to the employer.


Account registration for employers:

1. Download the app from the Apple Store or use the web-based app.
2. Set up your account profile and enter the credit card you would like to use to pay students for your job(s)
3. Feel free to connect with QuadJobs directly if you have any questions about posting opportunities

Saint Joseph’s University has partnered with Parker Dewey to post Micro-Internships. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable Career Launchers to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and conclude between one week and one month after kick-off. Create a Parker Dewey account to get started.
