Submit Handshake Feeds

Please complete the below steps and review the required technical information to set up your Handshake integration with uConnect.

If your institution is currently in the Onboarding Implementation phase, or you are new to building Handshake feeds specifically for your uConnect platform, please read these  instructions first to build out your Job and Event feeds.

If your platform has launched and you are submitting additional feeds for your platform here is a quick list of the required fields:

  • When logged in to Handshake navigate to your name on the top right corner and select School Settings > External Feeds > Create New Feed
  • Title the feed with the Community name and Job or Event type (i.e. Full Time, Internship, Networking Event etc.)
  • Set to V2
  • Select the following:
    • Job Type
    • Employment Type
    • Job Function and/or Job Role
    • Tick the box at the bottom to ‘Exclude Posted to All Majors’
  • Select ‘Next’, Publish the feed, and paste the link into the form below and fill out the associated fields.

At a minimum we recommend creating 2 feeds for each industry, one for Full Time Jobs and one for Internships. For example, if you have 10 Career Pathway communities you will want to create 20 total feeds, which breaks down to a Full Time feed and Internship feed for each community. This kind of setup allows us to automate the sync, organization, and publication of your Handshake content to your uConnect platform. The feeds must be created individually for different Job Types for users on the front end to be able to filter and search accurately. Below, please enter the Communities and Job Categories that you would like your jobs to be pre-tagged with, selecting from your existing Communities (i.e. Business, STEM, Entrepreneurship etc.) and Categories (i.e. Full Time, Part Time, Internship etc).

Generating Handshake EVENT RSS Feeds
Using the same instructions linked above, we recommend creating specific feeds for each industry and event type that brings in the most relevant content for that combination. This allows us to pre-tag the events pulled in from that feed to their associated Communities and Categories, to simplify your workflow. For instance, creating a feed specifically for ‘career fairs’ in the ‘finance’ field, will allow us to pre-tag all events imported in that feed to both your ‘finance’ community and ‘career fair’ category.

Below, please enter the Communities and Event Categories that you would like your jobs to be pre-tagged with, selecting from your existing Communities and Categories.

Please note, if you are selecting to auto-publish a feed, there must be at least one Audience, Community and Category tag for that feed.
Feed
Event Category Tag (Info-Session, Workshop, Career Fair, etc.)
Topic / Industry Community (Healthcare, Finance, Engineering, etc.)
Who is the event intended for? (Students, Alumni, etc.)
