• User roles are difficult to transfer from one company to another. I have been unable to figure out how to transfer my account to the new company page.
• Gaining approval to join a network or company is often a slow process and can compromise the task at hand. For example, the admin of my company account had left the company and it took several weeks to absolve the issue.
• I would like to see Handshake more visible in the social media world. Until working with a higher education company, I didn't know Handshake existed, because my university didn't use it. I think it could be more widely marketed.

• Although the sorting process is easy through SimplyHired when you check candidates to send a message, it un-checks them after the message is sent, so you have to go back through and re-check all applicants to move them. I'd like to have the candidates remain checked and highlighted after I send them a message.
• It would be great to have messages sent out automatically once we move them into new categories.

• Since the job description has to usually be approved by someone at the university, their feedback has helped me develop a more clear and thorough listing.
• I have received some great candidates through Handshake that have gone on to become interns I've kept in touch with after leaving.

• The job post-to-hire time is quite less which helps in effective time management and filling up the position in a timely manner.
• The candidate search options, almost always gives us the best fit for the open position. Thus, we do not have to spend more time filling up the position. This eventually helps in significant cost savings as one need not have to pay anything to any consultant to hire resources.
