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 be attending, 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 conversed with. To learn more about downloading the app and its features, refer to Handshake Events App for Employers.
Inviting teammates to access the event via their mobile device, and adding custom evaluation questions, is done via Handshake Event setup in Handshake.
This feature is available to Premium partners with the Handshake Events module enabled. For more information on our Premium offering, please check out this resource!
