Handshake

Handshake targets students and graduates as its primary audience, and is available in the UK and Europe. It provides personalised job recommendations based on your profile and interests, and allows you to message recruiters, students, and alumni directly. The platform also hosts events such as career fairs, networking sessions, and CV workshops.

For employers, Handshake offers advanced targeting by skills, location, work authorisation, language, and social mobility. Employers can use brand pages and feed presence to build awareness, and the platform integrates with existing hiring stacks. Handshake is free for students and employers, with premium paid options for large employers. The company has a team of over 750 employees, including teams in Germany, France, and the UK, and a Berlin-based R&D team. University partners receive a dedicated Relationship Manager.
