For career services...

Archiving office locations

Your team can now archive office locations—this was a top requested update from our partners.

• Learn about archiving office locations here.

Enforcing SSO for career services staff

In the coming weeks, your team will have the ability to require staff to log into Handshake via SSO. This optional setting will live on the SSO preferences page. Before toggling it on, please ensure your staff have auth identifiers associated with their Handshake accounts—otherwise SSO will not work and staff will be locked out of Handshake.

• Learn about enforcing SSO here.

For students…

(Experiment) Employer collection “badge” and filter

We’re testing a “badge” on employer profiles and job postings indicating that the employer was added to an employer collection by your team, and a filter on the jobs page allowing your students to identify opportunities posted by employers in collections. Both are visible to 50% of students.

• Read about the employer collection badge and filters here.

Video self-diagnostic

Students can now test their video, audio, and connection at a virtual fair without any assistance from your team. Note that students will be redirected to Twilio’s website to run these diagnostic tests and be asked to provide their email address for security purposes.

• Learn how students can test their video during virtual fairs here.

For employers…

Employer validation

We’ve implemented our new employer validation process. To ensure a smooth rollout, employer validation data points will slowly be incorporated into the employer Trust Score starting in mid-October. As employer validation is being incorporated, you can expect to see most employers' Trust Score rise. Then, after the busy back to school season, we’ll remove the Trust Score.

• Learn more about employer validation here.
• Share this help article with employer partners if they have questions.

Coming soon

For career services…

Invoice regeneration

When your team generates an invoice for an employer on Handshake, the link employers click to download and pay the invoice is only available for a set amount of time for security purposes. Over the summer, we reduced the time an invoice is available from 6 months to 30 days. However, at the request of our partners (who often invoice employers months in advance of a career fair) we are reverting back to the original 6 month window.

For students…

(Experiment) Remote filter in job search

In the coming weeks, we’ll test a new filter on the job search page that help students quickly find remote opportunities.
