Handshake for Employers Pros and Cons

I like the fact that Handshake connects me with hundreds of potential matches and that I can limit the schools or locations I want to pull from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it doesn't show when candidates have applied for multiple positions within the same company through handshake Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it's easy to use for reaching out to local students seeking internships and employment opportunities. It's great that you can use it to post available positions, directly reach out to interested students, and connect with area colleges all on the same platform.

The one downside to the platform is that there is a limit on how many messages you can send per recruiting season. However, there are no limits on messaging people with who you've already been in contact. It's only ever a problem when you want to directly reach out to students.

Not sure if students are seeing my reachout emails, I don't see any feedback from students so don't know if they get the notes I send Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to find so many places to connect with! If you hire from the university student pool, it's pretty much a must. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many schools have automatic filters that respond to potential job postings, which can be a pain to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that I can't filter by the students' locations (ie. I can search by school, but they might not even be located at the school). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy way to get your job openings out to most schools nationwide. Really easy to use: from uploading the job, to requesting to post at a school, to inviting students to apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many student's profiles aren't always up to date, so hard to know which candidates are really the best until they apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up job postings, very user friendly. Can create positions ahead of time to be opened/posted later. Can duplicate listings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Get too many people applying for jobs who don't submit correct documents. No option to create a custom form to fill out, has to be attachments. Not a lot of options to customize posting appearance other than font color and size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
