After creating an event in Handshake, or being approved for an in-person fair registration, you may choose to invite teammates to set up and access Handshake's Event App on their mobile device.
The mobile app allows teammates to view upcoming events they'll attend, access past events they've attended, keep a list of candidates they've met with, view and search student profiles, and submit evaluations for candidates they've conversed with.
This feature is available to Premium partners with the Handshake Events module enabled. For more information, please check out this resource!
