Here at Handshake, we're always rolling out product enhancements to make early talent recruitment even easier for you and your team. Check out what’s new this month!
Unlock job opportunities for a wider range of candidates
To effectively pursue a more inclusive hiring process, employers need access to a representative talent pool. That’s why we’re expanding the Handshake network every day to include more students from different backgrounds, interests, schools, and locations.
Now, we’re going a step further by giving you access to students that have self-identified their ethnicity as part of Segments. In addition to students that attend a minority serving institution and/or belong to an underrepresented group organization (e.g. Black Student Union), you now have the ability to reach more than 2M students that have personally added their ethnicity to their Handshake profile.
Available for all employers on Handshake Premium.
With Campaigns, Handshake Premium customers can build a more representative pool.

Now, everyone using Handshake video can blur their background—students, employers, and career services alike. With a single click, you can hide your surroundings by turning on “blur background”.
