CareerFairy vs. Handshake for Educational Providers

Handshake is great if this is the expected website for your organization to use. It can be difficult to share out specific positions, but an administrator has helped me create links in the past in order to do so. However, if you don't already have traffic to the site I could see where that would be a challenge. It works well for multiple team members to organize positions and helps to make it smooth and easy on the back end. Overall it's a very easy-to-use site.

Incentivized

• Internship and job postings.
• Targeted email communication.
• Effective employer relations tool.
• Effective event management and communication.
• Effective record keeping with key constituents.

Incentivized

• Handshake might be hard to use for students who have never used the service before.
• Handshake might be hard to use for education providers who are not the most tech-savvy.
• Handshake for work-study positions separate from paid jobs is something that may need to be addressed differently.

Incentivized

Handshake provides a job-seeking function, while our mentor's app from PeopleGrove is more of a networking experience. It would be nice if the two functions could be in one application as it is nice to see who is open to networking at specific companies and in certain fields that also go to/graduate from your school.

Incentivized

• Allows students to track internship and co-op experiences.
• Provides a space for informational resources specifically uploaded by the college's career center.
