4/5

What do you like best about Handshake for Employers?

I use Handshake as a platform for finding local interns to work at my small business. It helps me connect with college and university students, learn about them, and set up meetings for in-depth conversations about how our goals might align. The interface is easy to understand and the platform is straightforward to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handshake for Employers solving and how is that benefiting you?

Local colleges and universities required me to use Handshake in order to find and enroll student interns into my small business. I had not heard of the platform prior to being told to use it. After registering for the platform and creating a business brand profile, I was able to scan for universities in my area, post job listings, and receive applications from interns who wanted to work at my business. Then I selected those that I wanted to speak with, sent them messages, and scheduled an online meeting. So Handshake provides a direct pipeline to these young talents.
