Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.
Our mission at Handshake is to give people the chance to build the career they want, no matter where they're from or what school they attend.
That means we take an unconditional approach to fulfilling the dreams of students everywhere. Inside and out, Handshake is the place where anyone can start, restart, or jump start their career.
No connections, experience, or luck required.
We’re motivated to shake things up
When you bring a focused, driven, and diverse group of professionals to the table, great things happen.
See if our values align with yours:
-
Our mission is to democratize access to opportunity and ensure any student can build a great career no matter who they know, where they live, or what school they attend. We empathize deeply with our students to increase career opportunities for all.
-
We stay humble and work hard to democratize opportunity for all students. We like to have fun—and we do—but we’re always focused on how we can best make an impact.
-
We believe speed wins, and our operational pace is incredibly fast. Moving quickly while staying aligned requires strategic thought, collaboration, and frequent communication.
-
We embrace a growth mindset, enabling our team to face obstacles with a tenacious desire to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. We are relentlessly curious, working to close the gap between what we currently know and what we need to know to be as effective as possible.
-
We listen closely to understand our users and clients, approach challenges with curiosity, and treat our colleagues and clients with compassion.
-
We are building an inclusive and diverse community—both on the Handshake platform and across our team. We believe diverse teams create more thoughtful and innovative solutions and that diverse companies are more successful.

Join team Handshake
Creating access to opportunity starts from within
We believe our team should represent the students and career seekers we work to support. We strive to create an inclusive environment, where people feel they belong and can do their best work. Our goal is to develop a culture that rewards people equitably and creates opportunity for people to grow their career and impact.
This commitment allows us the greatest opportunity to make a monumental difference in the lives of those we've made a vow to help.
Celebrating the parts that make us whole
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a thriving component of our culture. Our identities run deep and we believe that celebrating shared experiences plays an important part in one’s sense of belonging. You can check out our existing ERGs below.
