I had a disappointing and frustrating experience with Handshake that I feel compelled to share, especially for other employers considering using this platform for job postings. Firstly, the cost structure is exorbitant—$24 per day adds up quickly. In just six days, I was charged a staggering $504, which seems outrageous for the level of service provided. Despite filtering for local candidates, I received only about six responses, most from students located outside my area, rendering the platform seemingly ineffective for targeted hiring.Moreover, I encountered significant technical issues while trying to access my account. Each time I attempted to log in, I was prompted to sign up again and re-enter information already provided during my initial registration. This frustrating loop prevented me from accessing my account and reviewing applicants, leaving me relying solely on email notifications, which were of limited use.To add insult to injury, I was hit with an additional $72 charge without any clear explanation. In total, I found myself nearly $600 out of pocket for a service that failed to meet even basic expectations. In summary, my experience with Handshake has been a complete disappointment. I would strongly advise other employers to approach this platform with caution or consider alternatives that may offer better service and value for their investment.
