On Hatch, job seekers and employers match with each other based on their underlying values, motivations, and skills fit, not just words on a page.

More than 300,000 Australians have already made the switch to Hatch, landing their dream opportunities at Australia’s leading companies like Qantas, Amazon, Westpac, Unilever, Woolworths, and more.

What we believe ❤️

We spend over 40% of our life at work. Work is an opportunity for contribution and meaning. But it's hard to figure out what work is right for us. All of us have capabilities and interests that can take us in so many directions.

A meaningful career starts with a match. When people are in jobs that align with their core values, they thrive, becoming better team members, growing faster, and uplifting those around them.

Job boards keep people in boxes and deliver slow, impersonal experiences with lots of ghosting. They miss what mattes most - real human connection. You deserve better - it's about time things got a shake-up!

How we started 🦄

The Hatch story began when good friends Adam Jacobs (Co-Founder, THE ICONIC Founder) and Chaz Heitner (Co-Founder, Zip Co) came together to build something they were deeply passionate about – helping people find meaning in work.

Since then, Hatch's team has grown around a shared mission to build a 100 year company that helps millions find work they'll love.

How Hatch works 🤩

Everyone on Hatch gets a profile, whether you're looking for work or hiring. Your profile allows you to share more about yourself and unlocks exciting ways to find matches.

AI-powered recommendations 🧭

  • Hatch’s recommendations feature, "Hatch Compass," recommends you jobs (if job seeking) or candidates (if hiring) based on core values and skills fit.

  • Recommendations include a "Fit summary" to help understand how a particular job or candidate may fit what you're looking for.

  • Job seekers get a "For you" page that provides a personalised list of top jobs that that fit them from leading employers. This saves time doom-scrolling hundreds of jobs, and also helps job seekers discover new types of work that may fit them.

Go behind the scenes 📸

  • Rich job pages and company profiles with authentic content from hiring teams give job seekers a behind-the-scenes view of the team and job.

  • Hiring manager profiles let job seekers see exactly who they’ll be working with.

  • Team reels give job seekers a direct look at a team's culture, values, and working style, whilst helping employers express their brand in a modern way.

Match directly 🤝

  • Both job seekers and employers can send match requests to each other, cutting out the middleman. When a match request is accepted they can then chat directly.

  • Employers can add match questions that job seekers respond to when sending a match request, saving time on screening calls and learning more about candidates.

  • Job seekers can answer a match question with video, helping them stand out and showcase their whole selves.

  • Hatch cares about reducing ghosting for everyone. Platform features help everyone stay in the loop with real-time updates on their match requests, and make it easy to provide personalised feedback when declining a request.
