Overall Satisfaction with Handshake Talent Engagement Suite

I use Handshake Talent Engagement Suite for mainly two purposes: 1. College recruiting - I register my company for college fairs. Then I make a segment (a select group of students) who I send a campaign (message) to announce that we are attending the college fair so that they will come visit us at our booth. Its a way that I can funnel more students to my colleagues when they are attending a fair. 2. Salaried and hourly roles - when the position that we are recruiting for can accept a new grad or recent grad, then I can post positions on Handshake Talent Engagement Suite and send campaigns out based by major/background. I do this to better advertise a role and I funnel those candidates to the job posting on our corporate website. I do this for myself and other recruiters that do not have Handshake Talent Engagement Suite access.

Pros

  • allows me to target specific majors and message them
  • allows me to target specific graduation years and message them
  • allows me to message an audience without a particular university affiliation and message them

Cons

  • add an "occupational health and safety" major
  • add an easier to read calendar so i can see all of the events we are attending company wide
  • allow us to save different company descriptions - CRH doesn't have any traction with career fairs. Ash Grove Cement does, so I find I am always having to delete the CRH description and put in the Ash Grove one.
  • 3 hard-to-fill roles filled (graduates plus 1-2 years of experience)
  • more top of mindness of my company for students
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.
