Pros
Handshake continues to change to meet the market conditions and focus on developing new ways to help every one of our customers. It's been hard in tech overall, and when companies like Snowflake, Zoom, and DataDog have cut growth by nearly 75% - it's easy to get negative. The reality is, we are in a market that dependant on hiring, which is at historic lows in white collar jobs. AND WE STILL GREW. It shouldn't be lost on folks who are reading these reviews how hard that is for a startup. 2015-2021 were good times, and it seems like a lot of people forget or don't know how hard building a big business is. It requires solid leadership and the ability to change as the market does. We have done that, and continue to grow. I'm bullish for the future
Cons
It's just a tough market to be in right now. Everyone in the recruiting and TA tech industry is showing signs of trouble due to the times. This can create an urgency to build and sell, and if you are not ready for urgency, it could be a tough environment to be in. That being said, when we build we help college students find jobs, it's always a mission you can get behind.
