It's easy to view all activities for all subjects in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handshake for Education Partners?

Sometimes the app takes time to load marks if there are many assignments. Maybe they must tested for less number of assignments per subject and thought professors would be good to give less assignments 😛 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible. Perhaps the worst change a college can make for its students."

What do you like best about Handshake for Education Partners?

Pretty user interface. There is honestly not much to like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handshake for Education Partners?

Functionally a charade. Unnecessary, impersonal and disconnected from college and students. Complete and utter lack of local and relevant job opportunities. Reduced the quality and value of our career center to practically none.

Before our college outsourced the main function of a career center, I would visit our job site numerous times a week just for the heck of it (even when I already had a job/internship). Got over 10+ interviews and/or callbacks in the span of my sophomore year. Landed two of my three internships thanks to the career center, one at the VA hospital and the other working for palm beach county. Even when I didnt get the job I was applying for, the job would likely be a responsive local company that I could reach out to to get more info. There was always a good job waiting to be applied to, alot of which were entry level positions.

Now, using handshake, I might find a handful of quality jobs a year that would be worth applying to. And thats only if you have years of professional experience like myself. Experience I was only able to get thanks to the how our career center operated previously. If you are looking for more entry level positions as a student, good luck. Most of the jobs are senior level positions that you could find on any other job board, like indeed or linkedin. In fact your much better off using one of those job boards, as they are better known and likely have more opportunities then handshake would.

Cannot emphasize enough the sheer lack of local and relevant entry level jobs for students. When the college made this decision, the change was night and day. Went from dozens of good job opportunities to less then 5. For months the platform was valueless, offering no local or relevant jobs . Over time, they have managed to get more jobs listings but the amount and quality is still atrocious.

If your looking for a job in Washington DC, posted by a staffing firm, handshake is right for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Handshake for Education Partners?

I like that the platform is easy to navigate and that our students have been able to get advice from faculty and staff mentors on review of their resumes and cover letters when applying to jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handshake for Education Partners?

I dislike the faculty and staff platform navigation because there are a lot of restrictions on what those registered users have access to. It makes their accounts a bit more difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent medium to find jobs"
5/5
What do you like best about Handshake for Education Partners?

Handshake is an amazing tool to find jobs around places. Every semester there’s a career fair and handshake helps me find jobs with filters where I have option to select where I want to work and what field I want to work. It kind of helps you figure out what you want and it is partnered with my university which makes it less expensive for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handshake for Education Partners?

Sometimes it doesn’t display jobs that are displayed on other sites. And it doesn’t give you notifications of job fair around you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
