Post a Job or Internship
Post a Job
BYU makes finding the right candidates for your corporation simple and straightforward. Because students may use different methods for finding a job, we will try to give you the most comprehensive approach for connecting with the right candidates.
The university and the Computer Science department are committed to protecting the privacy of our students. This means that we cannot provide student contact information or recommend students for positions, internships, or other opportunities. Recruiters who desire to hire BYU students must advertise the opportunities to them, using one of the following channels.
Note: In a highly-competitive work environment, all internships and job opportunities should be paid. Computer Science students are highly sought after, and paid internships are the established industry standard. Because students recognize the tangible value they bring to production-level code and systems architecture, they are unlikely to accept "experience-only" opportunities for private projects.
Handshake is the official job board used by BYU. Employers who want to hire graduates or offer internships to current students post job openings to this website and students apply. Just like LinkedIn, employers can view student profiles and students can network as they apply for jobs and internships.
Handshake is a web-based career placement system that connects you with your ideal job or intern candidate from BYU. This site will open your position advertisement to the largest pool of students, including students from other technical majors like information systems and information technology. It will also help you advertise to interns and alumni.
The site allows you to post job descriptions, access student resumes, make interview decisions, add contact information, and view your interview schedule. It provides you with student resumes in an online book format, which permits you to search for specific skills or experiences.

The University holds general and technical career fairs twice a year-once at the beginning of fall semester and once at the beginning of winter semester. Typically, computer science students are encouraged to attend the technical career fair, although a few may be interested in the general fair. Each fair hosts hundreds of recruiters, including some of the industry's most noted tech companies.
Recruiters are given a chance to meet with potential employees, hold company information sessions and luncheons, and conduct on-campus interviews.
This page on BYU Career Services' website describes how to host an information session on BYU Campus:

The BYU Computer Science Capstone program offers recruiters and industry leaders a premier opportunity to engage with top-tier talent through high-stakes, experiential learning.
By sponsoring a project, your organization gains a dedicated team of mentored students who contribute approximately 10 hours per week to designing and prototyping production-level solutions. This partnership allows you to tackle authentic technical challenges—from software engineering to data science—while building a direct recruitment pipeline and evaluating students' professional performance firsthand.
Participation not only drives innovation for your company but also empowers the next generation of engineers to deliver tangible value through modern project management and bespoke development.
