### "Handshake is useful" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Handshake is a great platform for students to use and for employers to use to connect with students and alums.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least about Handshake is the website is very busy. It's not a bad thing to have multiple features but I feel like it's overwhelming and I have not grasped all the features.
> 
> My overall experience with Handshake is good. It's good to have a job board that has a target population.

### "Handshake Makes You Feel as You're Not Wasting Your Time as a College Student" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *31 October 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most I like about Handshake is that they send me emails of jobs or internships relating to my degree. It gives me an idea of what jobs or internships I can apply for when I get ready to. I feel like I won't have to worry too much about jobs after I graduate because Handshake sends them to me.
> 
> **Cons**: The least thing I don't like about Handshake is that they send information that doesn't pertain to me. I am an online student, so some of the information they send to me I can't go to.

### "Great job searching platform" — 5.0/5

> **Felipe** | *13 April 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When I was a graduate student looking for internships and jobs, I found Handshake to be a great platform. It has a wide range of companies offering positions and the application process is easy to navigate. I particularly liked the messaging and chat features, which allowed me to interact with recruiters directly.
> 
> **Cons**: The platform can be confusing to use at first and some of the information posted by companies is not always accurate.
> 
> Overall, Handshake is a convenient job searching tool with helpful features for both applicants and recruiters.
