Connecting with UMSL students and alumni is an effective way to enhance your recruitment efforts.  We look forward to working together to help you find interns, part-time employees, summer hires and full-time professional staff members.  UMSL Career Services utilizes Handshake.  Handshake allows employers to post positions and view potential UMSL candidates.  While we are not a placement agency, our mission is to connect students and alumni to internship and job opportunities. 

Employers now post positions directly to Handshake!
