Handshake for Education Partners Reviews & Product Details

Handshake offers an extraordinarily easy way for Shopify merchants to expand into B2B sales without taking on high commission costs. Setting up a supplier profile takes only minutes, and syncs products, images, and inventory directly from your backend store. The zero-commission pricing structure makes it risk-free for growing brands looking to supply independent boutiques. However, organic buyer volume on the platform is lower compared to competitors like Faire, and feature updates have stagnated. Overall, it is a convenient side channel for Shopify users, but shouldn't be relied on as a primary wholesale engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think there's anything I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handshake allows me to create scheduling blocks for students to make appointments and automatically get on my calendar. The data resources and analytics are extremely helpful, and I can include surveys and instructions for students to see when they have an appointment. Many employers and universities use handshake so many grad students know of it already Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most difficult thing is that it is not set up intuitively for students to use. They frequently email or call stating they have trouble making an appointment or uploading documents for review. Many students need training on handshake, which removes some of the ease of access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part of the website is the ease of the different categories and filters that can be used to fine tune the exact career(s) that you are interested in as well as the broadness of the options that can possibly also be satisfied but may not be thought of as a cross-over topic! It also helps to expand beyond what you are just interested in to see what other opportunities are available to receive experience even if thought of as non-valuable!

The thing that I dislike most about the website is the fact that it takes a learning curve and is not the most user friendly right off the bat. It took me a few attempts to get the exact filtering that I desired as well as there being many options that were classified incorrectly and did not actually fit by request.

I appreciate that we can offer so much to our students on one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't love the employer and job approval processes. I feel that they could be streamlined as far as verifying whether or not an employer is fraudulent. This is a process that is being updated currently and is supposed to start transitioning summer 2022, though, so I am excited for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was introduced to Handshake in college and it was instrumental in being able to submit my resume to employers. It had a very professional design and I was able to tailor my profile to suit my desires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main dislike was the fact that Handshake was not as popular as the other job search programs (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.). I was happy with my Handshake profile and what I had to offer, but I did not receive much feedback from potential employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Handshake's job board and sorting filters. It makes it super easy for students like myself to find jobs and internships matching our relevant experience, school year, and skills. I also love how Handshake is integrated with my school's career development office, allowing me to schedule career counseling appointments, have my resume and cover letters reviewed, and get answers to my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Handshake's job board is well-designed and easy to use, it lacks a large number of job posts. I would like to see more jobs on Handshake that I can currently only find posted on other job sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how handshake shows all the upcoming career fares, events, and mock interviews and sends reminders as well. We can sign up for mock interviews on our own which saves time and effort. Was able to build my network through handshake and landed a job Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

while applying for jobs, I found out that many job postings were fake and were posted by some random consulting. I started getting calls from those people again and again. I wish they have a strict way to verify the legitimate employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handshake is an amazing tool for campus recruiting. It makes connecting with students as easy as clicking a button on the keyboard. It has so many awesome features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the pricing of the platform the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handshake makes it easy to filter out results by the type(s) of jobs that you're looking for, the area, and the field! This made it easy for me to find both paid and unpaid internships, and jobs in my area, or other nearby cities. Handshake also let's you see if your skillset matches to what the employer is looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only bad experience I have had with Handshake has been when I was recommended an MLM company. They seemed like a legitimate business, and it wasn't until the second interview that I realized they were an MLM. I was pretty upset I wasted my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
