Recently Released

For Career Services...

Employer and job approval second requests

We launched 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.

Coming Soon

For Career Services...

Session Timeouts

Later this spring, Handshake will begin enforcing session timeout limits for all students and career services users—these limits dictate how long you can use Handshake before you’re asked to re-login for security purposes.

• Once we begin enforcing session timeout limits, your team will be able to use the User timeout field on the SSO preferences page to dictate how often career services users at your institution will be asked to re-login. If you leave the field blank, we’ll default to a 36 hour (2,160 minute) timeout window. We recommend checking this field and updating it to at least 2,160 minutes.
• All students will be subject to a 90 day session timeout window—a standard length for consumer applications.
