Handshake Talent Engagement Suite vs. Swoogo

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.

We are a non profit association with a small staff - Swoogo has been instrumental in enabling us to focus on other tasks while making the registration process easier and more intuitive for our attendees.

Swoogo is intuitive - easy to build registration sites and to make custom reports. It's also easy to send attendees invoices or receipts of their registrations. Swoogo's help feature is also great. They are very responsive and they have been able to solve any problem that has come up for us

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.

It is a great product and valuable tool for recruitment and sourcing of talent

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!

Swoogo is much more affordable, easier to use and more user-friendly than Cvent

• 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.

Incentivized

• Swoogo has saved our organization thousands of dollars
• Paying for a great product, and not per registration, is very valuable
