Targeted Emails Drag & Drop

When building a Targeted Email in Handshake, drag & drop lets you easily rearrange text, images, banners, buttons, and more within your emails.

Employer Decline Reasons

We’ve updated the name of one of our standard employer decline reasons—the reason “Religious objection to industry” has been changed to “Ideological objection to industry”.

For Students…

Additional Email Addresses

Students can now add additional email addresses to their account and opt to use them to receive communications from your team and from Handshake. We made small tweaks to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to account for this launch.

For Employers...

School Recommendations

We’ve launched a new feature to help employers better target their job postings. School Recommendations suggests more institutions an employer should post a job to, based on the qualifications they’ve set (and how they align with an institution’s student population). It will also suggest institutions the employer is not yet connected to, prompting them to reach out for approval.

Employer Branding in Fairs

Employer logos are now featured on the screen when hosting a virtual fair session or virtual event on Handshake.

Coming Soon

For Career Services...

Employer and job approval second requests

We’re building a new toggle you can use when declining an employer or job to indicate that you’re open to approving if certain changes are made. Employers must include a comment explaining how the changes were addressed in order to request approval for a second time.
