Collaborating with the Career Center to make finding student assistance even easier.
Finding the right student talent just got easier. The Missouri State University Office of Student Employment is making a move that will transform how local businesses connect with our incredible student workforce: We’re transitioning to Handshake.
This shift aligns with one of the university’s Strategic Plan priorities, specifically the goal of sharing talent with the region. For efactory, it’s another meaningful way we’re strengthening connections between Springfield’s business community and student success.
Why This Matters for Your Business
If you’ve worked with efactory or student employment before, you know the value MO State students bring to the workplace: they’re eager, skilled, and ready to contribute.
Handshake is already the go-to platform for the Career Center, which means students are already there, actively searching for opportunities. By bringing student employment onto the same platform, we’re creating a single destination where your part-time positions, internships, and career opportunities can shine in front of thousands of motivated students.
What Changes for You
When you’re ready to post your next position with us, you’ll do it through Handshake instead of our previous system. Don’t worry: We’ve made the transition as smooth as possible with step-by-step instructions and helpful videos on our site.
The Benefits You'll Love
Maximum Visibility: Your positions appear where students are already looking. No more wondering if the right candidates will find you.
Streamlined Process: One platform for all your hiring needs means less juggling between systems and more time focusing on what matters.
Simple to Use: Handshake’s intuitive interface makes posting and managing positions straightforward, even if you’re new to the platform.
Centralized Talent Pipeline: Access students seeking part-time work, internships, and full-time career opportunities all in one place.
