Overview

Creating a job on Hatch is easy and designed to help you find the right people fast. From outlining the role to adding a personal team intro, we’ll guide you through it.

Getting started

Start by adding a job description that clearly explains what the job is all about. This sets the foundation for your job post and helps candidates understand what you’re looking for.

  • Paste in your job description

  • Describe your ideal team member think about their skills, personality, and past experience.

  • We’ll use your description to help generate a great-looking job post.

Job details

We’ll try to complete this section based on your job description, but it’s worth checking and updating to make sure your job is accurately represented. The more precise you are, the better your matches will be.

  • Job title: Choose a clear and recognisable title

  • Seniority: Let people know if the job is intern, graduate, junior, mid-level, senior, director or C-level

  • Work arrangement: Specify if the job is office-based, hybrid or remote

  • Employment type: Select full-time, part-time, contract or temporary

  • Salary: Share a salary range to set clear expectations (unpaid internships aren’t accepted on Hatch)

  • Additional details: Include any relevant info about your office’s work setup

  • Location: State where the job is based

  • Visa requirements: Mention if sponsorship is available or if they need existing work rights

  • Additional comments: Add any other info to help people better understand the job

Job overview

You and people viewing the job can easily toggle between your summary and job description. This section gives a high-level overview of the job. We’ll auto-fill it based on your job description, but it’s worth tweaking to make sure it really shines.

  • Short summary: A quick snapshot of what the job is about.

  • Responsibilities: Outline key responsibilities and expectations.

  • Skills: List the essential skills needed for the job.

Meet the team

Let people see who they’ll be working with by adding your team members. Their Hatch profiles will be linked to the job so people can get to know the faces behind the job.

  • Add your team: Click Add team members and invite them via email

  • Select from existing members: You can also choose people already in your Hatch account

  • View profiles: Once added, team members can view each other’s profiles and candidates can explore who they’d be working with

Get your team involved with team reels

Show the people behind the job and help people get a feel for your team’s vibe.

  • Answer questions: Ask your team to answer quick questions about their work, values or day-to-day

  • Add existing videos: Upload any reels your team has already created

  • Record new reels: Capture short videos directly in Hatch

A few tips:

  • Each reel is 30 seconds max

  • Hatch will need access to your camera and mic to record

  • Keep it fun, natural, and authentic

Once recorded, reels can be reused across other jobs.

Behind the scenes

Give people a deeper look into what makes your job special by adding more context with structured templates and content. This is your chance to stand out and show what sets your company apart, so make it count. These content blocks help paint a fuller picture of the job so people can better understand what’s in store.

Match questions

When people start their match request for your job, you can set up questions to help filter the best people. You can also set company-wide default questions for all match requests.

  • Screening questions: Automatically assess talent based on key criteria to ensure they're the right fit.

  • Application questions: Custom questions designed to understand talent’s motivations, skills, or experience. Choose how they answer—whether it’s through text, audio, or video.

These questions will help you refine your talent pool and connect with the best people for the job

Posting and managing your job

Once your job is ready, you can publish it and start discovering potential matches.

  • Posting your job: Post your job to receive matches from people and for you to send match requests to your recommended people.

  • Closing your job: Close your job once you're done receiving matches. This will stop you from receiving or sending match requests. You can always reopen your job by clicking the “...” in the job menu.
