Handshake allows you to add hiring team members to receive applicant information when you create a job posting.
To add a hiring team member to your job posting, refer to the section Your hiring team in How to Post a Job.
Notification preferences
Depending on the settings selected within the job posting, the recipient can receive applicant information via email in the following ways:
- A summary of all candidates once the application period closes
- Each time a candidate who meets qualifications applies
- Each time any candidate applies (regardless if they meet the job's qualifications)
Email notifications

Teammates that are added as a hiring team member will receive an email notifying them that they've been added to the hiring team, as well as the email notification preferences set on the job posting.
The email will read:
