Handshake's Support Team is available to assist with a variety of questions, including troubleshooting unexpected behaviour or how to use the features.
Core employer submitted tickets are generally addressed based on the order of submission, and tickets from Premium partners are addressed both by order of submission and urgency.
Premium features are for Handshake Premium accounts only. For more information, please check out this resource.

Support Interaction Policy
Handshake strives to provide the safest environment for our users and employees while engaging in any conversation on our platform or vendor tools we use to service our customers. We require consensuality when interacting with our team members, meaning that conversations must remain professionally relevant and contribute to our community in a constructive manner.
We require that every user be civil and respectful as they interact with our team. If any of our employees wish to terminate the consensual conversation due to abusive behaviour, they may do without penalty or fear of retribution.
Handshake does not tolerate abuse of its employees: We do not allow profanity, bullying, harassment, unwanted advances, threats, violence, intimidation, prejudice, retaliation, discriminating, dehumanising, or hateful language/action against individuals working for, or on behalf of, Handshake.
