Handshake for Employers Pricing Overview

The ability to hyper target students in Handshake is a marketer's dream. The open rates and engagement we receive on Handshake are the highest we have seen on any platform for connecting with our target audience. Handshake is the expected and preferred way our target hears about jobs so it's a perfect match for us to promote our opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our ATS is not integrated with Handshake so every job we post has to be done manually and we cannot see a clean line through the recruitment funnel from attraction to hire. We can follow attraction to interest when a person leaves Handshake and clicks on to apply, then we can come to our ATS to track who came from Handshake as a source, but it's an imperfect science and more difficult to execute than I'd like. But even still, we know confidently we could not be as successful with our digital- first approach recruyiting students without Handshake so the imperfection here is worth the effort.

Handshake Premium for Employers is the premier tool in the campus talent attraction marketplace to get your internships and full-time job opportunities in front of millions of college students.

As a university recruiter, I have used Handshake for nearly 7 years with multiple employers. I would not want to do university recruiting without it, as it allows my team to work smarter, not harder. Connecting with the right kinds of candidates early and often is the name of the game to convert prospects into applicants. My Handshake Premium license allows me to search for candidates, create targeted outreach messaging campaigns, register for school-hosted events like career fairs, create my own virtual info session events, manage on-campus interview schedules, chat with students 1:1, and so much more.

The Handshake team does a phenomenal job of listening to it's customers (both employers and universities) as well as getting student user feedback. Their team is constantly updating the platform to enhance the user experience and help students find jobs. I love that their mission is to "democratize access to opportunity" and can confidently say that I have hired hundreds of candidates because of the Handshake platform.

Keep up the great work, Handshake team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've found is the steep cost for employers to use Handshake Pemium features. In my opinion though, Handshake Premium allows employers' university recruiting teams to have a consistent funnel of highly-qualified candidates and is well worth the cost, espeically for larger employers hiring hundreds of interns and entry-level professionals annually.

Handshake has really spoiled me though, as some of the schools I recruit at are not yet using Handshake, doubling my efforts to post jobs and engage with those schools. I appreciate being able to reach so many students at so many schools all at once or target my communciations to candidates at specific schools and other "job board" platforms aren't nearly as user-friendly or widely used.
