Your next step
Check the published 20-person and three-year referral criteria, then confirm your actual country and language mix with the data-partnerships team. The estimator’s country selector does not establish acceptance.
Program overview
Handshake built a large careers network and expanded into AI training data. Its employer data program buys de-identified institutional knowledge and workflows under NDA, with deals Handshake describes as ranging from $100K to $4M+.
Its referral program targets companies with 20 or more full-time employees and at least three years in operation, among the lowest published minimums of the large buyers.
That makes Handshake a useful benchmark for small and mid-sized companies, even if you sign elsewhere.

Questions to resolve before proceeding
- A published range is not a typical offer or guaranteed maximum. Language and country eligibility need confirmation.
- Clarify which systems the price covers; adding a system later may be a new negotiation.
Before requesting a company-data offer
Start with the official program page and a description of the records. Confirm the contract counterparty, permitted uses, exclusions, acceptance criteria and payment milestones before transferring data. Our security questions and broker or direct guide can help with that review.
For other published routes, see the company licensing comparison. QuoteMyData’s assessment does not guarantee that Handshake AI will receive your inquiry or make an offer.
