Automatically approving staff members allows any user with a valid email address that matches your company’s domain to be approved as soon as they request access.

Auto-approval requirements
- Your company must be the sole account on Handshake associated with its email domain.
If multiple companies share the same email domain, auto-approval is not available. - New company profiles created using an email domain not already associated with another company will have auto-approval enabled by default.
- If your company's email domain changes and you want to retain auto-approval, contact our Support team so we can update your company group.
Who can enable this feature?
Only the Owner or an Admin of the company profile can enable auto-approve.
