What Is Handshake Day?

Celebrated on the last Thursday in June, Handshake Day is all about recognizing the value of a first impression. In the world of multifamily property management, that first connection—whether it’s with a future team member or a hiring manager—can have a lasting impact.

While a traditional handshake might be less common in virtual or fast-paced environments, the essence behind it remains the same: confidence, professionalism, and mutual respect.

Handshake Day For Employers: Representing Your Community Starts Early

Handshake Day is a great time for hiring managers and property leaders to reflect on how they present their community to candidates. Does your hiring process reflect your values? Are you setting the right tone during interviews and onboarding?

In multifamily, turnover can be costly. Making a strong first impression as an employer helps attract candidates who align with your culture and are more likely to stay and grow. InterSolutions helps ensure your community is represented professionally and proactively from the very first interaction.

Handshake Day For Job Seekers: Make Every Introduction Count

If you’re applying for leasing, maintenance, or any other property management roles, your first “handshake” may come through a resume, an email, or a video interview. No matter the format, it’s your chance to stand out.

Be on time. Dress professionally. Follow up with a thank-you note. These small details make a big difference—and our recruiters are here to coach and support you throughout the process.

On Handshake Day, take a moment to evaluate how you’re presenting yourself. Are you leading with confidence? Are you prepared to make a great impression from day one?
