GoReact vs. Handshake for Educational Providers

It is very well-suited for business presentations. The students improve their presentation skills tremendously using GoReact and the feedback from the instructor. It is less suited for very technical areas such as operations research and management science.

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.

We looked at Voicethread because the university has access to it but it does not even come close to functionality of GoReact.

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.
