There are two options to take when approving employees who ask to be approved at your company:
- Set Handshake to automatically approve all requests. When enabled, any user with a valid email address that matches your company's email domain will be automatically approved when they request access to your company.
- Manually approve each user request. Learn How to Approve Teammates at a Company.
This is an action that can only be performed by the Owner or Admin. For more information, check out A Guide to Employer Role Types in Handshake.
- The option to auto-approve staff accounts using your company’s email domain will only appear if your company is the sole account on Handshake associated with that domain. If multiple company profiles share the same email domain, auto-approval is not available.
- When a new company profile is created with a unique email domain, auto-approve is enabled by default.
- If your company’s email domain changes and you’d like to continue auto-approving staff, contact our Support team so we can update your company group accordingly.
1. To begin, click on your name in the upper-right corner of any page, then select Company settings from the dropdown.

3. In the New teammate access section, check the box for Auto-approve new users who sign up with a valid email that matches your company's domain, then click the black button Submit.
- With this feature enabled, any user who signs up for Handshake with a valid email address that matches your company's domain will be automatically approved to connect with your company profile when they request access.
