*Your company's profile contains sections that are dynamic, as indicated by an asterisk(*), so its appearance will vary depending on which student is viewing your profile.
- For example, if a student attends ABC University and you have an Employee Perspective by an intern from the same school, we'll tailor that student's view to show that Employee Perspective first. This same example would work for similar majors.
The Overview tab on your company profile contains various customizable sections to help position your brand accordingly. Click on each headline below to learn how to personalize each section.
Cover Photo, Company Name & General Information
The first item displayed on your company profile is your Cover Photo.
This is an important component because this is the first thing students will notice 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.
