What leading hiring programs have to say
Jaclyn Barry
“The most valuable things Handshake has done for us are let us tap into diverse talent and give us the ability to reach candidates with limited staff.”
Marlena Taynor
“We launched our university recruiting effort in tandem with our Handshake partnership, so we’ve been on this journey together from the beginning!”
Lauren Kelly
“Virtual is how we do things now, and we may not go back to the in-person events now that we see how easy it is with Handshake.”
