Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work specifically in University Talent Recruiting so Handshake Talent Engagement Suite has been a great help in targeting the right audience. It can be hard getting the right demographic to apply using other job boards such as Indeed, so we are grateful to have a platform that is just for students and recent graduates. I have been able to source hundreds and hundreds of top talent candidates to fill out roles which would not have been possible without Handshake Talent Engagement Suite.

Pros and Cons

Being able to track who views a role, and being able to contact them if they didn't formally apply
The ability to properly label candidates who show interest in our roles, candidates we have reached out to, and candidates who are not interested in our roles. This helps us even more with targeting the right audience.

Being able to see all the students who are sent messages in a campaign, that way we can mark them as contacted for certain roles.
The ability to share a mailbox or delegate messages to other users.
The ability to see the job listing as students see it would be helpful as well.
Messages notification seems to be stuck on 13 whether I have more or less unread messages in my inbox.
A way to label private profiles that receive messages from us or view our jobs.
It would be nice to have a map that shows where the schools are located in the country. Sometimes we want to send out campaigns to schools in a certain region and it can be time consuming researching where all the universities are. Maybe even pre-made school lists by region.
It would be nice to have the ability to label candidates individually or in bulk from my inbox - similar to labeling applicants in the job listings.

Likelihood to Recommend

Handshake Talent Engagement Suite is great for recruiters who sole purpose is to fill internships and entry level roles. Having a platform is made for the demographics we look for helps us weed out a lot of candidates who apply who are not a fit for these early career type roles.

Handshake Talent Engagement Suite allows us to connect with and recruit great talent!
