HireNKU

Handshake is the region's #1 college-to-career network! Handshake is used to connect students and alumni with job opportunities (internship/co-op positions, full-time/degree-required jobs, and part-time positions), on-campus interviews, career fairs/events, and more.  In short, Handshake connects employers and candidates!

Handshake replaced HireNKU in May 2021!

HireNKU Login Links (access available through end of June 2021)

Faculty and staff can use the NKU Student Login to create a student account, connected to their NKU username and password.  This will allow you access to job postings, events, on-campus interviews, student profiles, etc.

Faculty Coordinators: If you are teaching an internship/co-op course managed in Handshake, here is some additional information: 

• Approvals do not require a login - you will receive an email with a link to the student's record for your review and approval.
• To review your students' co-op/internship records in Handshake, you will need to log into your Career Services administrative account.
• If you also have a student account, use the menu in the upper right corner to "Switch Users" to "Career Services Account."
