Handshake claims it drives 3x more applicants from underrepresented groups by connecting students, employers and career centers in a three-sided marketplace. The platform hosts 1500 universities across the US and UK, serves almost every Fortune 500, and reports 800 employees with ~200 engineers (30 in Europe, hiring to double). Growth steps: acquired Talent Space to launch Germany and France, build AI-driven search, event tooling, employer dashboards and analytics to surface hidden student talent.
