You will need to be connected to your company profile on Bullseye powered by Handshake prior to taking any actions with schools. Your company should pull up based on the domain of your email address if it is already in Bullseye powered by Handshake. If it isn't, you should see the option to create a new company profile.
Troubleshooting tips:
- Use your corporate email address if you have one. This will ensure that your company profile is shown to you if it is in Bullseye powered by Handshake and can expedite the process of connecting to your company. Schools also will tend to decline users with generic email addresses.
- The goal of this step is to connect you with your company, not the schools you'd like to recruit from (that comes later). If you want to recruit from Stanford, do not list Stanford as your company! On-campus employers are obviously the exception to this rule.
You must request and receive approval from a school prior to posting jobs there. Use the filters on the right side of the screen to search for University at Buffalo during your sign-up process. You can always select more schools at any time afterward.
Once you've connected to the University at Buffalo, you will be able to post jobs, host events, request on-campus interview schedules, manage your applicants, and more.
