Overall Satisfaction with Handshake for Educational Providers

We use Handshake to recruit student workers and to connect students to potential jobs after graduation. I have used it as both a student and a recruiter.
  • Allows students to upload their resume information
  • Allows students to set their interests for job openings
  • Allows recruiters to connect with potential applicants
  • The quality of jobs available for graduates is lacking
  • There should be more information available about the jobs, specifically salary and work modality for every job.
  • Students do not often seem to use it because of the aforementioned issues.
  • communication with students
  • job board
  • I cannot really speak to the full ROI as a limited user.

Would you buy Handshake for Educational Providers again?

No

If you are truly looking for an entry-level only position for recent undergraduates, then Handshake can be a useful tool for both parties. If you are using it as a graduate or professional student, who is a career changer or mid-level, then I would not recommend it. It is fine for recruiting student workers.
