Before engaging with an employee from a company of interest, you may want to learn more about the individual!
Handshake offers the option to access employer-users personal profiles directly on the platform.
Profiles may include employees past work experience, educational background, a bio, and any professional affiliations. By viewing their profiles, you can gain valuable insights into the person you're about to connect with. Ultimately, this'll provide you with the advantage to craft a more personalized message and increase your chances of making a lasting impression.
Click on the expandable headers below to learn more about how to view employer user profiles.

Click on the name of the user you want to view the profile for, or click the blue button View All Public Staff for a full list of users associated with the company.
Once selected, you'll have access to the employer users profile!
