- Graphic Designer or Visual Designer
- Brand Designer or UI Designer
- Print or Web Designer
- You should have solid experience with one or more of the following:
- Vector illustration, logo design, or icon creation using Inkscape
- Annotating or labeling graphic design assets
- Creating design assets from structured briefs or brand guidelines
- Reviewing vector graphics for quality, precision, or design consistency

Our take
The three founders of Handshake established their company in an attempt to eliminate inequality and make the student hiring landscape fairer. The Handshake platform acts as a LinkedIn for college students, pairing students from every walk of life with more than 650K employers, including the entire Fortune 500, which includes Google and Nike.
The graduate recruitment platform is open to any student with a valid @.edu email address, with more than 17M active users from thousands of colleges and universities. With a student-first philosophy, the company generates revenue from both universities and employers rather than students.
Valued at $3.5B, Handshake has gained traction in a competitive market, although it has strong competition from recruiting giants LinkedIn and Indeed. It stands out, however, by helping students build new relationships and skills, rather than simply making connections to people they already know.
