Every employer on Handshake has a company profile. However, our Premium partnership provides additional features to help you personalize your brand at scale and customize the way students view and interact with your brand.
Learn more about your company profile structure in Understanding your Company Profile.
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 locked, so only students who have an active Handshake account will be able to view your profile unless you've enabled Allow Public Pages — SEO in your company settings.
- For additional details, refer to Company Settings: Global Settings.
- Other employers on Handshake will not be able to access your profile; only students, career services, and other team members connected to your company.
- The information listed on your company profile can only be edited by the Owner or Admin on the account.
- For more information, refer to How to Edit Your Company Profile Settings.
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.

Tips from Students
These are unlimited and you can post as many as you'd like!
We recommend keeping in mind that these are going to students, and some of these students may be the first generation and this may be their first experience with a corporate-level job. In this case, it's very useful for you to provide clear and helpful tips for when they're going to interview or start their first day with your company.
You will need to work directly with our Support Team at Handshake to update these as needed.
News Articles
You're able to post three news articles at a time. You will need to work directly with our Support Team at Handshake to update these as needed.
Public Staff List
Any team member can indicate whether they'd like to be publicly listed on the company profile.
If they are public, they will be displayed on the profile to students at schools your company is approved with. Students will be able to click on their names to be taken directly to their user profiles.
Note: students at schools you're not yet connected with will not be able to view this list.
Preview company profile
To preview your company profile, click Company Profile or Branding in the left navigation bar.
If you'd like to preview your company profile from a student's perspective and are an Owner or Administrator, click View As... in the upper-right corner of the page.
- Much of the information on your company's profile is dynamic, so its appearance will vary depending on the student that's viewing your profile.
- For example, if a student is attending ABC University, and you have an Employee Perspective by an Intern from that same school, we'll tailor that student's view to show that Employee's Perspective first. This same example would work for similar majors.
Tip: view as a specific major at a specific school to know exactly how your profile would look for that student.
