KS Kasey Stricklin Senior Talent Scout Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Handshake and Untapped both have their pros and cons. The campaign features in Handshake are really unparalleled and allow you to reach a relevant and diverse set of students quickly and efficiently.

LW Lona Williams Recruiting Coordinator Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I have not used other platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite SO much better than Symplicity. Compared to other platforms for university/school recruiting efforts, Handshake is unmatchable and has been the best option out of all systems. Incentivized Helpful? EO Eddy Ogbuji Diversity Recruitment Specialist Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I have nothing to compare. But so far Handshake leads any other pack out there. Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Senior Manager Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I like Handshake Talent Engagement Suite much better than this platform as it is much easier to identify talent and find exactly what we are looking for to use as a repository for what we need and the time we need it in. We selected this because we needed to make new hires … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I think Handshake is similar to Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite In terms of overall application experience, I think the other companies do a better job with richer features. Where Handshake shines, however, is in how it 1. is mainly focused on new grads and internships, making filtering less necessary, and 2. its suite of other features … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Handshake Talent Engagement Suite is similar to indeed in the ease of communication, but we prefer to use Indeed in our organization because the connection with a school can be declined. Some of our recruitment team members have experienced a long delay of making connections … Incentivized Helpful? Samuel Springer Managing Veterinarian Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Handshake provides direct to university connection for professional recruiting. It is better then indeed for direct to university candidate searches. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite N/A Incentivized Helpful? Carley Potter Talent Acquisition Operations Specialist Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite N/A Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Surprenant University Relations Recruiting Specialist Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Our company uses hireEZ and LinkedIn Recruiter as well, but Handshake Talent Engagement Suite makes the most sense for our University Relations team due to the focus on college students and recent grads. hireEZ is the opposite and isn't very effective at targeting college … Incentivized Helpful? LC Liz Chase Senior Campus & Military Recruiter Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I have only used Handshake as I am new to recruiting. Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Cuesta owner Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Handshake is not friendly user Helpful? Morgan Kesman Associate, Lateral Recruitment Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite N/A Incentivized Helpful? Melanie Hyatt-Wilfong Human Resources Specialist Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite We use ADP Recruitment function with our account. It works for posting on job sites outside of school and universities but doesn't hit those though its channels. I have to use Handshake in order to achieve my needs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite We have used other sites to help with our recruiting needs, such as Indeed, LinkedIn and Craigslist. I would say Handshake and Indeed are at the top of our go-to list open positions. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Contributor Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Schools used to use Symplicity as opposed to Handshake but for every school you had to make a new username and password for every one. This gives you one login where you can post to many. It makes it much easier and is a huge time saver. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Smith, DPA Instructional Technologist Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite I am not aware of the competitors to Handshake. However, Handshake is so awful that I think I might even write my own Web application that does what Handshake can do and do it better. In fact, I think that I made a "Bob Board" application back in the 1990's and it did just fine. Incentivized Helpful? Maureen Trattner Recruiter Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Lever is more of an ATS, while Handshake is a candidate database. It is also essential to be using good ATS when you have Handshake. You can organize your candidates and not forget about any of them. I do wish that Lever and Handshake worked together so that I can automatically … Incentivized Helpful? Kristi Porter Chief Do-Gooder Chose Handshake Talent Engagement Suite Outside of personal relationships and Facebook groups, I use Handshake as well as Internships.com to find interns. While I sometimes like the easier format of Internships.com, I don't like the fact that I can't target schools. It's worldwide, so I rarely get the candidates I'm … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Handshake Talent Engagement Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	Handshake Compared to bulk messaging students who are listed as 'matches' on the job listing page, the segments & campaigns I created were so helpful in identifying leads & helping to convert those leads to applicants without me having to continually follow-up with students (thank you- follow-up email feature!) For roles that require a lot of applicant flow, or for positions that require a large cohort of hires at one time, these features are perfect. Incentivized Chrissy Lowery, SHRM-CP Campus Recruiter Read full review
Pros	Handshake Connects us with our target audience (current college students and recent graduates). Connects us with a variety of career services offices, building trust in our organization. It provides capacity to our recruiters while also allowing us to balance volume and personalization in recruitment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Handshake Ability to directly source and reach out to specific candidates (rather than just a whole pool with campaigns) More flexibility over the way postings look to allow for creativity More details about students on their profiles to make it easier to source the right candidates Incentivized KS Kasey Stricklin Senior Talent Scout Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Handshake It works and has been a valuable tool for recruitment and talent engagement Incentivized EO Eddy Ogbuji Diversity Recruitment Specialist Read full review
Usability	Handshake It is intuitive Incentivized EO Eddy Ogbuji Diversity Recruitment Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	Handshake Becca always responds very quickly to my questions. We had an issue where I couldn't register for a fair because another division of my company had already registered and this problem was fixed the next day. I feel like the team at Handshake Talent Engagement Suite actually cares about my experience. Not all companies do once the contract is signed! They definitely treat their customers well. I literally feel like I am their only customer. Incentivized Lilian Thompson recruiting specialist Read full review
Implementation Rating	Handshake It is a great product and valuable tool for recruitment and sourcing of talent Incentivized EO Eddy Ogbuji Diversity Recruitment Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Handshake I think Handshake is similar to Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with schools, register for events easily, advertise to college students and reach them where they are! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Handshake Summer internship recruiting for hard to fill roles has grown to be much easier. Without Handshake Talent Engagement Suite, we would be left scrambling to specific school job boards. Hosting a simple one-hour informative event and reaching a large audience has helped with brand awareness. We don't necessarily see immediate obvious results but have been content with our ability to connect with underclassmen, getting them excited to apply for internships in a year or two. Creating a talent segment and sending campaign messages is much more efficient and effective than reaching out to individual candidates with cold calls/emails.
