As the owner of your company profile on Handshake, you can transfer ownership to any teammate connected to the profile.
This feature is available to on-campus employers and Plus, Pro, Essentials, and Enterprise (formerly TES) customers only. For more information, please check out this resource!
Who can transfer ownership?
- Basic plan: If the current owner is still active, they must upgrade to an eligible paid plan before transferring ownership.
- Pro, Essentials, and Enterprise plans: Owners can transfer ownership directly to a connected teammate.
- On-campus employers: Owners can transfer ownership directly, provided the account has been designated as an on-campus employer by the company profile Owner. Without this designation, the transfer ownership feature will not be available. For more information, visit Identifying as an On-Campus Employer on Handshake.

If the current owner has left your organization, is no longer active, or is otherwise unavailable, contact Support.
