Every employer on Handshake has a company profile, however, our Premium partnership offers additional components to help you make the most out of your Handshake account and show off your brand with schools, students, and alumni on Handshake.
Please note: Premium features are for Handshake Premium accounts only. For more information, please check out this resource!
Notes to keep in mind:
- The Handshake platform is a locked platform, so only students who have an active Handshake account will be able to view your profile, unless you have enabled Allow Public Pages - SEO in your company settings.
- For more information, refer to Teammate Roles Glossary for Premium Partners.
- Other employers on the Handshake will not be able to view your company profile. The only users who can see your company profile are students, career services, and other team members connected to your company.
- Any of the information listed on your company profile can be edited at any time, but this action can only be performed by the Owner or Admins on the account.
- For more information, refer to How to Edit Your Company Settings.
Preview company profile
To preview your company profile, click Company Profile or Branding in the left navigation bar. Both of these options will take you to the same page.
Click View As... in the upper-right corner to preview your company's profile from a student's perspective.
- A lot of the information on your company's profile is dynamic, which means it may look differently depending on which type of student is viewing your profile.
- For example, if a student is attending ABC University, and you have an Employee Perspective with an Intern from that same school, we'll tailor that student's view to see that Employee's Perspective first. This same example would work for similar majors.
- In this case, you have the ability to view as a specific major at a specific school to see exactly how your profile would look for that student.
There are four main tabs located on your company's profile. We'll break down each one and their features below:

Overview Tab
Cover Photo, Company's Name + General Information
The first item viewable on your company profile is your Cover Photo.
This is an important component because this is the first thing students see when they view your profile on Handshake.
Below your Cover Photo is your Company's Name, Logo, and all information about your company.
This includes your location, industry, employer size, and public or private status.
You can edit the Cover Photo or Logo at any time, provided you are an Owner or Admin.
For size and ratio recommendations when updating either of these images, please refer to our Handshake Image Size Guide!
