The system was flexible for candidates interested in applying to apply from any location, and then the system allowed for our department to log in from anywhere as well to track the hiring process. We have utilized AccuRecruiter for some job requisitions. While we were okay with the system as the recruiting side of the team, we had some issues with our IT systems team with integration considerations.

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.

Pros
  • The applicant tracking process helps our teams keep organized especially given there are different stakeholders reviewing and making comments/decisions.
  • Providing an option to test or screen applicants helps make our job easier because then we don't need to sift through and spend time on applications that would be evidently screened out.
  • The video-based recruitment process helped our department save time because of the flexibility provided, especially during the remote times of the pandemic.

  • 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.

Cons
  • When we were working with our IT systems team to use AccuRecruiter, there were some hurdles that would need to be assessed such as if/how it can integrate better with our organization's current system.
  • There was a lack of ability to do reliable background screening of the candidates.
  • Reporting options can always be improved for example providing more charts and tables that are more ready to click and view.

  • 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.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • The prescreening ability gave our department the flexibility to add questions to help identify the candidates that would be more suitable to review.
  • Provided a platform for our department's personnel in charge of recruiting for some roles over the pandemic to do this without requiring face-to-face interaction on site.
  • Helped with efficiency (saved time) with the recruitment process compared to that of our prior systems which were more email-based and could get disorganized.

  • 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.
