STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Tarleton State University’s Career Services Center’s hiring system, Hire A Texan, soon will be powered by Handshake. This new platform offers many new features, including personalized job recommendations and a user-friendly interface.
There are currently more than 6 million students, 350 universities and 180,000 employers partnered with Handshake.
Handshake recently launched to employers, and students will have access on or about July 12. In the meantime, students still have access to Tarleton’s current Hire A Texan system until June 30.
Students are reminded to make sure that all of their documents are off of the system before June 30, if they wish to retain them. Documents include resumes, letters of recommendation, transcripts, cover letters, as well as other documents uploaded into the system.
