Here’s what careers services say about Handshake

Jason Steers

“Providing a personalised career journey for our students is an integral part of our careers strategy. Handshake helps support this by providing us with a centralised hub to host all of our content which we can then promote to specific groups of students based on demographic data or activity. Always linking back to Handshake via our socials, emails, resources and assessments is what drives our students’ engagement with careers.”

Jason Steers, Communications and Engagement Project OfficerUniversity of Liverpool

Eloise Capet

‘Our partnership with Handshake has been highly rewarding. At Gisma University of Applied Sciences, we take pride in the success we've achieved together. Handshake has enabled us to create a dynamic ecosystem where students and employers can connect and grow. As a career leader, I find Handshake to be an invaluable, data-driven tool that fosters both high performance and engagement.’

Eloise Capet, Head of Career ServicesGisma University of Applied Sciences

Oliver Laity

“When we plan our service targets for the year ahead we know that early, regular interaction with Handshake is going to be very important to enable communications, awareness and bookings. We set a tough target last year that 75% of all UG and PGT students would be regularly active on HS – we surpassed that and have now set a tougher target for 23/24 of 85%. Our students’ engagement is certainly enhanced by the fact that Handshake has been first to market with an app that speaks to GEN Z.”

Right from the beginning, we valued the productive involvement throughout the entire process. Handshake provided personal, intensive onboarding support for companies, students, and the Career Centre. Together we managed to achieve the set project goals and time flew by. We received positive feedback from students and companies. We are familiar with the processes now and are excited to see where the journey will take us.
