Handshake developers were able to focus on creating a great appointment scheduling feature for their users. These services are known for being hard to integrate with. Many universities use calendar services like on-premise Exchange and Office365 for their calendar tools. It leverages Cronofy’s technology and works with all major calendar services, which was an important requirement from the start. Two-way calendar sync is now implemented in the Handshake application for career center users. "Implementing Cronofy was painless – they provide a simple and clear API that allowed me to have the integration live to customers in less than one month." Drew Zader | Senior Software Engineer, Handshake They identified calendar sync and Cronofy’s Calendar API as the technology that would help them provide booking based on counselors’ real-time availability and push appointments directly to their calendars. The Handshake team was looking for a solution to improve the appointment booking process. Missed appointments and having to reschedule costs time and money, and adds to everyone’s workloads. This is what happens when tools and applications aren’t synced with our main calendars. It could also lead to double-bookings if they had committed to something before checking their Handshake calendars. Students simply have to log on to the Handshake platform and book the timeslot that works for them to confirm the appointment.īefore Cronofy, that meant counselors had to log on to Handshake to check their schedules and see when they had appointments, separate to their own personal calendar on Google, Outlook or other systems. Counselors can use the calendar interface to block out time and indicate when they are available to meet with students. With Handshake, this process is entirely streamlined. This feature has reduced the administrative burden of scheduling appointments for our career services partners, allowing them to spend more valuable time with students." Jade Pathe | Product Manager, Handshake We were able to implement a two-way calendar sync feature that was a top request from our career services users in less than one month. "Support from the Cronofy team has been exceptional. Counselors are there to help students, but meeting with hundreds of students means keeping a challenging schedule. This is why universities have career centers that help students decide which career path they want to follow. The transition between student life and professional environment can be hard and confusing, especially when students look for internships. By bringing all of these schools together in one network, Handshake makes it easier for employers to recruit at more schools, which increases the opportunities for students from every school and background. Handshake works with the career centers of 475+ colleges of all types, including Stanford, UC-Berkeley, Princeton, Wellesley, Howard, Illinois, UT-Austin, Michigan, Georgia and hundreds more.
