The pandemic has greatly changed the way that society operates. As a results, college students are facing one of the most challenging job markets in over a decade. Handshake is a startup company that provides a platform for college-aged students to register their interest and skills and search for suitable work, and for recruiters to search for candidates and advertise entry-level openings. Often, Handshake is marketed as a more diversity and inclusion focused version of LinkedIn. Recently, Handshake raised $80 million in a growth round of funding, and is planning on using that money on more advanced diversity initiatives.
