Handshake

Existing BuckyNet Accounts

We are thrilled to announce that Handshake has been selected as UW-Madison’s primary recruitment and career event management tool. During summer 2018 we will be transitioning employers and students to the new system. BuckyNet will officially shut down on June 30, 2018. Learn More about how you can connect to UW-Madison on Handshake.

Interview Our BBA Students

Please keep the following in mind for on-site interviews:

Interviews will be held at the BBA Program Office and Interview Center, 3290 Grainger Hall, 975 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706
Check-in begins at 7:45 a.m. Upon arrival, we will provide a packet containing the interview schedule and student resumes. Please request a guest Internet account when you check in.
Interview schedules typically include a half-hour break at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Between interviews, you can relax, get caught up on work, or meet with UW staff in our Recruiter Lounges, which are equipped with computers, a printer, and refreshments.
Lunch is scheduled between 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. unless you indicate otherwise in Handshake when requesting your schedule. For your convenience, the Capital Cafe is located on the first floor of Grainger Hall, and a list of nearby restaurants is available in the Recruiters Lounge in the Dining Guide Book.
Some recruiting teams prefer to reserve a lunchroom for their use in Grainger Hall. To request a private lunchroom, please contact Grainger Hall Event Services at 608-262-8679, or graingerevents@wsb.wisc.edu, in advance of your arrival. Lunch orders will incur a room charge, and must be ordered through Grainger Hall Event Services within five working days of the interview date.

If you’d prefer to conduct a remote interview, you can use Handshake to reserve an interview room along with phone or Web-based video interviews (Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.), just as you would for an in-person visit.

Tip: You are encouraged to avoid scheduling first-round interviews on Fridays. However, for second-round interviews, Fridays are preferred.
