Employer-hosted Schedules: Create a Schedule

With employer-hosted schedules, Handshake's Premium partners can organise meetings with students through integrated video in Handshake, an external platform, or in person.

Note: Employer-hosted Schedules, except for Availability Calendars, are a part of the Events module. If you do not currently have this package, check with your Customer Success Manager for more information.

To set up a schedule for an Availability Calendar, refer to Availability Calendars: Set up a Schedule.

Premium features are for Handshake Premium accounts only. For more information on our Premium offering, please check out this resource!
