Welcome Employers!

Let us help you recruit Kent State candidates who can quickly contribute toward the success of your organization.  Promote your opportunities via participation in career fairs, online position postings in Handshake, virtual interviews and more.

Post Positions

Thank you for your interest in recruiting talent from Kent State University! We’re excited to support your efforts and help you connect with our talented students and alumni.

Kent State uses Handshake as our primary platform for posting jobs and internships and engaging with students. Most colleges and universities in Northeast Ohio also use Handshake, so by posting your opportunities there, you can reach a broad early-talent pool.  

Login to Handshake Here

If you have open positions and they are posted in Handshake, we'd be happy to help spread the word. We can share opportunities with relevant campus partners, such as internship coordinators and faculty, and may also promote them through targeted student outreach and career newsletters. Send your Handshake postings to career@kent.edu, and we'll look for opportunities to highlight them to our students.
