After creating an event in Handshake or being approved for an in-person fair registration, you can invite teammates to access Handshake’s Event App on their mobile devices.
The app allows teammates to view upcoming events, access 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!
