Handshake Talent Engagement Suite vs. Snagajob (Snag)

Compared to bulk messaging students who are listed as 'matches' on the job listing page, the segments & campaigns I created were so helpful in identifying leads & helping to convert those leads to applicants without me having to continually follow-up with students (thank you- follow-up email feature!) For roles that require a lot of applicant flow, or for positions that require a large cohort of hires at one time, these features are perfect.

Peoplematter is a great solution for companies who want to save time and money on the onboarding process. It is a very simple solution that will really aid your managers and HR with their daily duties. It provides relief by ensuring the W4 and I9 are filled out accurately, plus additional onboarding items. It integrates with job boards making posting jobs a breeze. It has great reporting functions to help track where your new hires are coming from, turnover, assessments scores, etc. Honestly, I feel PeopleMatter's Price Point makes this product valuable to any size company or business

• Connects us with our target audience (current college students and recent graduates).
• Connects us with a variety of career services offices, building trust in our organization.
• It provides capacity to our recruiters while also allowing us to balance volume and personalization in recruitment.

• The assessments in the Hire module allow managers and supervisors to choose from applicants who are suited for our line of work.
• The onboarding process allows our company to avoid costly printing of hiring packets.
• The Learn module allows us to reach all of our associates with the same material at one time, which allows consistency throughout our stores.

• I would love if there were a better way to filter by experience. Currently, it's based on graduation date but a lot of my talent segments pick up people with 10+ years of experience that recently started or completed another degree. This is frustrating for the candidate who receives a bunch of misplaced messages and for recruiters who have to explain why they received a message about an internship they are clearly overqualified for. Can we separate grad year from years of experience in the segmentation somehow?
• I wish there were an easier way to "blacklist" candidates who were rude or expressed a sentiment of never wanting to hear from me or my company again. These are people that I don't want to accidentally include in a campaign message 6 months later.

• Messaging candidates options are limited. There are pre-written questions if you want to use them, but I cannot change them or figure out how to change them.
• To schedule an interview I only have 140 characters to leave a note to the candidate.
• The "My Team" features are not useful to my company at all.
• There used to be a search candidate function, but it was limited. It has been removed from the site.

I would definitely renew our use of PeopleMatter, because it would not be beneficial or cost effective for us to go back to doing it in house. If they are willing to listen to our needs and wants and update the program for the better on a regular basis why would you. I feel like we got in on the ground floor and we are evolving with them

It is intuitive

Becca always responds very quickly to my questions. We had an issue where I couldn't register for a fair because another division of my company had already registered and this problem was fixed the next day. I feel like the team at Handshake Talent Engagement Suite actually cares about my experience. Not all companies do once the contract is signed! They definitely treat their customers well. I literally feel like I am their only customer.

The account reps were easily reachable. I have made different types of recommendation, especially about the communication part. There are videos and a help center with fairly quick response times. I can easily update my career site, and they even have a text to hire option. I have not used that yet, but we are discussing it.

I would just say make sure you really think about how you are setting up the product. Are you using the roles correctly? Can we automate any processes

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 really source specific people (which Handshake doesn't allow), but the filtering features needed work and it was tougher to reach a lot of students at once.

PeopleMatter was selected primarily to support the store environment, and it does an excellent job in that space. It was chosen over other vendors for its easy to use, intuitive interface that really meets the needs of the manager in a retail store. The system helps managers select the best talent that has completed a validated assessment, improving the quality of talent in our stores.

• Handshake has definitely positively impacted our business objectives. Handshake pulled some data for us and we found out that 39% of our hired interns & new grads thus far followed up with us, received a message, or RSVP'd to an event on Handshake so far this year.

• The ROI on using PeopleMatter is amazing when I consider the amount of paper saved, time saved, and not to mention the fact that using these services prevented our company from having to hire an assistant to help take care of the large amounts of paper work that come through our office.
