In this competitive hiring landscape, earning coveted accolades for recruiting diverse talent is no easy feat.

My name is Emma Duncan and I am the College Relations Manager at Genworth.
Genworth is a long-term care insurance company as well as a mortgage insurance company. I am hiring for all of our internships and our different entry-level development program, so it's a wide variety of roles.
I had different challenges that were presented to me this spring with hiring managers having different needs at the last-minute and Handshake Premium allowed me to fulfill their needs in a very timely manner. —Emma Duncan
We became a Premium customer for Handshake back in November [2018], and then before we were just using Handshake as a regular [core] customer. I am recruiting team of practically one and then I have contract help during our busy season.
Handshake Premium has allowed me to go into one place; target different schools, and organizations, and students; and then quickly have a much bigger applicant pool than I would have otherwise.
The one phrase that I would use to describe Handshake Premium is that it is a huge time-saver. I had different challenges that were presented to me this spring with hiring managers having different needs at the last-minute and Handshake Premium allowed me to fulfill their needs in a very timely manner.
