SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 21, 2023 / Today, Handshake, the largest Gen Z career network, announced its inaugural "Tech Transformer" list highlighting 10 employers who are taking innovative approaches to recruit the next generation of tech talent. Amidst the volatility and hiring slowdown in the tech industry, Handshake is launching this list as part of a broader effort to highlight the many ways to launch a career in tech. This year's Tech Transformers represent a range of industries outside of the tech sector itself that have a growing need for tech talent and are using Handshake to find it.

"The tech dream job is shifting in real-time for the class of 2023 as they head toward graduation," said Garrett Lord, Co-Founder and CEO of Handshake. "We want to help students on Handshake see that there are many ways to launch a successful and high-impact career in tech, from working in robotics at Johnson & Johnson to building electric vehicles at General Motors."

The Tech Transformer distinction is a new addition to Handshake's Early Talent Awards (ETAs), an annual list the company announced today of employers recognized for best-in-class early talent engagement. These "Tech Transformers" are using a range of strategies to attract early talent, 35% of which are open to applying to more industries. Outreach methods include skills-based hiring to reach beyond traditional majors; outreach to students earlier in their job-seeking journey, emphasizing the opportunity for impact at their organization; and working to attract students not just to their brand but to the types of problems they can help solve.
