Handshake employer product updates—30th May 2025

Job-based approvals [Launched: May 29 2025]

Job-based approvals condenses the job and employers approvals process into one step, speeding up the time it takes for employers to connect with a university. With quicker approvals and easier access to post across the full Handshake network, employers can get their jobs in front of students more efficiently.

Interest signal [Launched: May 29 2025]

Employers can favourite and request to connect with the universities they are interested in collaborating with — even without an active job posting, helping them to build relationships with universities and create visibility for future talent.
