RecentlyPostedJobs vs Handshake
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better than Handshake at finding newly posted software, data science and AI jobs.
Handshake gates internships behind a school login. We list first-seen public intern and full-time software reqs with no campus account.
| When you are looking | Handshake | RecentlyPostedJobs |
|---|---|---|
| Where jobs come from | Campus employers on Handshake | Public career portals |
| What “new” means | Handshake campaign / go-live | First-seen last 7 days |
| Same job posted again | Can be re-opened for a new campus wave | Same public id is not new twice |
| Where you apply | Handshake | Employer job page |
| Role mix | Early-career, all majors the school allows | Software, data science, and AI internships and full-time |
What Handshake is
Handshake is where universities and early-career teams run internships and new-grad pipelines. Many postings are Handshake-only or go live there on a campus calendar. An account tied to a school is part of the product.
Why that is a weaker way to find new jobs
A school login wall and a campus calendar hide public intern requisitions that already opened on the employer’s career site. Handshake dates follow the campaign, not first-published on Workday or Greenhouse, so “new on Handshake” is not the same as newly posted.
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better
- Internship pages here list first-seen intern and co-op titles from public career sites in the last 7 days, with no school login.
- The same employer’s full-time software reqs sit in the same dataset.
- Original posted dates are ATS fields, not a campus drop time.
- Apply is the public job page the employer already published.
- Anyone can see this week’s internships without a university affiliation.
- A campus campaign date does not override the employer’s first-published ATS timestamp.
