What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Best For: Internships, fellowships, and entry-level hiring for recent college graduates.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Job advertising · comparative prompt · alternative

“provides free access to a network of over 12 million college students and recent graduates” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Recruitment marketing · budget prompt · alternative

“Best For: Campus recruiting and entry-level talent.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Job advertising · comparative prompt · alternative

“Handshake for recent grads.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Job advertising · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Handshake's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Handshake, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at handshake.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
