After creating an event in Handshake or being approved for an in-person fair registration, you can invite teammates to access the Handshake Events App on their mobile devices.
The app allows teammates to view upcoming and past events, track candidates they've met, search student profiles, and submit evaluations for candidates they've engaged with.
This feature is available to Premium partners with the Handshake Events module enabled. For more information, please check out this resource!
