How to Auto Approve Staff Members

There are two options to take when approving employees who ask to be approved at your company:

1. Automatically approve all requests
   Any user with a valid email address that matches your company’s domain will be automatically approved when they request access.
2. Manually approve each request

Auto-approval requirements

• Your company must be the sole account on Handshake associated with its email domain.
  If multiple companies share the same email domain, auto-approval is not available.
• New company profiles created using an email domain not already associated with another company will have auto-approval enabled by default.
• If your company's email domain changes and you want to retain auto-approval, contact our Support team so we can update your company group.

Who can enable this feature? 

Only the Owner or an Admin of the company profile can enable auto-approve.

Set up auto-approval 

1. Click on your name in the upper-right corner of any page, then select Company settings from the dropdown. 

2. From the menu on the left, click Global Settings.

3. In the New teammate access section, check the box for Auto-approve new users who sign up with a valid email that matches your company's domain, then click the black button Submit.

• With this feature enabled, any user who signs up for Handshake with a valid email address that matches your company's domain will be automatically approved to connect with your company profile when they request access.
