  We establish a connection between compactness of Hankel operators and
geometry of the underlying domain through compactness multipliers for the
$\overline{\partial}$-Neumann operator. In particular, we prove that any
compactness multiplier induces a compact Hankel operator. We also generalize
the notion of compactness multipliers to vector fields and matrices and then we
use this generalization to generate compact Hankel operators.
