Updated yesterday

We just rolled out a major platform update to Hatch. The updated platform is live on hatch.team, while the legacy platform will remain live at legacy.hatch.team. This is where you can access your previous Hatch account and its data.

Match on Hatch

In the updated Hatch platform, both employers and job seekers will be able to "request to match" if either party feels like the match is a good fit for a live job.

What does it mean as a job seeker?

All new activity, such as job recommendations, sending match requests, or receiving match requests, will now happen on the updated Hatch platform (hatch.team), while any activity in progressed or completed applications will remain on the legacy platform (legacy.hatch.team).

What you need to know:

  • New activity? All happening on Hatch! Apply, get matches, and update your profile here.

  • Previous applications? You can still check their status on the legacy platform, where employers will continue reviewing them.

How to access the legacy platform

Head to legacy.hatch.team and log in to view your past and in-progress applications.

You can post and manage new jobs on Hatch while reviewing past applicants on the legacy platform.

How is privacy changing?

We've updated our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use to reflect important changes, including upgrades that make it easier for employers to discover your profile. Specifically, you’ll have visibility and control over your profile settings and a clearer understanding of how your data is shared.
