Ratings and reviews

I don't think this is the safest app for searching for a job. Maybe for internships, and it has a lot of listings that are actually entry level (something hard to find on job sites like Indeed/LinkedIn). I'm not sure what, if any, screening jobs go through on this site, but every single "employer" that has contacted me regarding an application has been a job scam.

i have been experiencing a possible bug witb this app for quite a while now. i cannot open messages in my inbox. it doesnt even register that im tapping on the message to open it. its literally this most important feature, and it doesnt work. the inbox loads messages fine and shows the preview, but no matter what i do i cannot open any messages, i click everywhere and nothing happens.

There's seemingly no way to adjust the distance of jobs you get recommended despite the ability to list preferred locations on your profile so I always get notifs about onsite jobs on the opposite side of the country even though I don't plan on leaving the state. The amount of AI related job listings and constant recruiter messages/emails asking if you would be interested in training Handshake's AI is really obnoxious and it seems like there's no way to block or filter out these offers either.
