University Career Services holds firm to protect student information as Handshake faces privacy concerns
An Inside Higher Ed article published March 30, 2017, sparked some anxiety about students’ privacy on Handshake, which is one of the fastest-growing talent-recruitment startups in the country and the partnering recruitment platform for University Career Services. Inside Higher Ed interviewed a sample of students and alumni from universities across the country that utilize Handshake, many who claimed that they did not remember uploading personal information such as their GPA onto Handshake or even signing up for the service altogether.
