    Handshake and Untapped both have their pros and cons. The campaign features in Handshake are really unparalleled and allow you to reach a relevant and diverse set of students quickly and efficiently. Untapped has the ability to go through the profiles of individual students to …

    SO much better than Symplicity. Compared to other platforms for university/school recruiting efforts, Handshake is unmatchable and has been the best option out of all systems.

    I have nothing to compare. But so far Handshake leads any other pack out there.

    I like Handshake Talent Engagement Suite much better than this platform as it is much easier to identify talent and find exactly what we are looking for to use as a repository for what we need and the time we need it in. We selected this because we needed to make new hires …

    I think Handshake is similar to Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with …

    In terms of overall application experience, I think the other companies do a better job with richer features. Where Handshake shines, however, is in how it 1. is mainly focused on new grads and internships, making filtering less necessary, and 2. its suite of other features …

    Handshake Talent Engagement Suite is similar to indeed in the ease of communication, but we prefer to use Indeed in our organization because the connection with a school can be declined. Some of our recruitment team members have experienced a long delay of making connections …

    Handshake provides direct to university connection for professional recruiting. It is better then indeed for direct to university candidate searches.

    Our company uses hireEZ and LinkedIn Recruiter as well, but Handshake Talent Engagement Suite makes the most sense for our University Relations team due to the focus on college students and recent grads. hireEZ is the opposite and isn't very effective at targeting college …

    We use ADP Recruitment function with our account. It works for posting on job sites outside of school and universities but doesn't hit those though its channels. I have to use Handshake in order to achieve my needs.

    We have used other sites to help with our recruiting needs, such as Indeed, LinkedIn and Craigslist. I would say Handshake and Indeed are at the top of our go-to list open positions.

    Schools used to use Symplicity as opposed to Handshake but for every school you had to make a new username and password for every one. This gives you one login where you can post to many. It makes it much easier and is a huge time saver.

    I am not aware of the competitors to Handshake. However, Handshake is so awful that I think I might even write my own Web application that does what Handshake can do and do it better. In fact, I think that I made a "Bob Board" application back in the 1990's and it did just fine.

    Lever is more of an ATS, while Handshake is a candidate database. It is also essential to be using good ATS when you have Handshake. You can organize your candidates and not forget about any of them. I do wish that Lever and Handshake worked together so that I can automatically …

    Outside of personal relationships and Facebook groups, I use Handshake as well as Internships.com to find interns. While I sometimes like the easier format of Internships.com, I don't like the fact that I can't target schools. It's worldwide, so I rarely get the candidates I'm …
