The Company's Mission

The Handshake Company, founded Spring 2007. The mission of The Handshake Company is to shake hands with the world, one shake at a time. Our full-fledged Specialists have proven that they have what it takes to make a handshake happen. They climb onto pages hosting our banner (like the one on the right of this page) to fearlessly meet strangers and shake their hands. The Specialists work day and night to keep that total handshake counter moving higher and higher.


How Our Company Works

1. Start as a Trainee Today!

We need your hands! Learn the art of handshaking from the very best! Join the Handshake Company on the ground floor as a Trainee and shake your way up to Specialist. A Handshake Specialist enjoys all sorts of benefits: your looks will improve, you'll feel more confident, and, well - let's just say life can be very, very good for a Handshake Company employee.

Give it a try as a Trainee

2. Network, Network, Network

At The Handshake Company we've developed a special worldwide workspace deployment technology that allows our Specialists to go out onto sites around the Internet and interact with live web browsers. Access to these workspaces are represented by holes in The Handshake Company walls. If a hole is open, that means someone is browsing the site of that workspace. We need you - yes you, handshake Specialist - to go out to those workspaces and get those browsers to shake!

3. It's Handshake Time

We admit it: Your first shake can be terrifying. Will they notice me? Will they shake? Push aside those apprehensions! Climb the ladder to that workspace with confidence and hold up your "LET'S SHAKE!" placard! Anything you type into the chat area will appear in real-time on the Handshake Company banner on the workspace host site. You need the attention of those browsers. Get them to click on your character and shake your hand!

4. You Closed the Deal ... Now What?

If it's your first shake, you get promoted to Specialist. If it's not your first shake, you get to enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you're helping The Handshake Company and making the world a better place. As a Specialist, you get your own nickname. A Specialist is also expected to spread the good word of our Company, because many of the people whose hands you will shake during your long, fruitful career may not know much about this revolutionary new system of handshaking your way to the top. It's your job to tell them just what the Handshake Company is all about.

5. Add a Workspace to Your Site

Allow Handshake Company Specialists the opportunity to shake hands with browsers of your site. After you add The Handshake Company banner, we guarantee our Specialists will deliver quality shake after quality shake.
