Join us

Founded by students, for students

We’ve been there, and we know that navigating the job search can be intimidating. We also believe that although talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. That’s why we’re here. Handshake was created to level the playing field and ensure that all students and recent graduates have equal access to meaningful jobs and internships.

More than an incredible mission

Join our dynamic and growing team.

“My co-founders and I started Handshake because of the inequity we saw in students’ access to career opportunities. It's what drives us every day. And we've been lucky enough to build a team that is equally invested in this mission. That alignment creates pretty remarkable momentum and culture. If that resonates with you, we can't wait for you to join us.”

CEO and Co-founder
