Handshake student product updates—June 6, 2025

Job search context from a job on the homepage [Experiment launch: May 30, 2025]

Clicking on a job on the student homepage now opens the Job Search page with that job pre-selected and its details open, but still keeping job seekers inside the broader job browsing experience. Previously, students were directed to the job details page only—a "dead end" of sorts that made it difficult to continue browsing for other opportunities.

Profile QR Codes [Launched: June 3, 2025]

On iOS, students can now generate a QR code pointing to their Handshake profile. This gives them an easy way to connect with peers, contacts, and recruiters while on campus or at in-person events.

Create job alert from the home page [Launched June 4, 2025]

We launched a button to create a new job alert directly from job lists found on the student homepage. This makes it easier for students to act on relevant recommendations by instantly creating new alerts.

Blocking users [Launched: June 5, 2025]

Job seekers can now block other users on the web (mobile app support coming soon). When a user blocks someone, neither person can view the other’s profile, posts, comments, likes, messages, or follows.
