FAQs
What is Merge and how is Hatch using it?
Merge is a unified API provider of B2B integrations that companies use to add hundreds
of integrations to their app. Trusted by the world's top companies, Hatch uses Merge to provide a single interface to all ATS'. This allows us to provide seamless support to a wide range of ATS and improves security by taking care of authorization and data access.
Is my data secure?
Hatch's data security policies are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Merge’s data security is at the highest level of industry standards and they hold SOC II Type 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certifications. See here for the most up-to-date information on Merge’s security compliance and features.
Why am I asked to provide login credentials for certain ATS connections?
Certain ATS providers choose to allow connections to be setup using OAuth, making it easier for you to connect your ATS with other tools. Hatch can't change the authentication process that has been chosen by these providers e.g. Breezy, Job Adder. It is important to note that the link we share ensures these credentials are passed to Hatch securely.
What data does Hatch have access to inside my ATS?
Hatch requests access to certain 'read' and 'write' fields that are needed to pull the information needed to set up your role on Hatch, and to create and update candidate records in your ATS when candidates are pushed into your ATS for review. Hatch does not request or have access to information such as notes and feedback you capture in your ATS about candidates during the hiring process.
What if my ATS isn’t available on the list?
If you're using an ATS that isn't listed above, please get in contact with us at ask@hatch.team and we'll explore what this might look like.
What can I do if I’m having difficulty authorizing a connection?

How long does it take to get the connection set up?
Getting set up with Hatch's ATS connection only takes a few minutes with our guided tool.
How long will my role take to appear on Hatch?
All roles will be live on Hatch within 12 hours of posting them in your ATS. Though you can commonly expect them to appear more immediately than this.
How quickly will candidates appear in my ATS once they’ve applied on Hatch?
Hatch passes candidates through to your ATS immediately after they submit an application on Hatch, though it can take up to 5 minutes after applying before a candidate is visible in your ATS.
What if I don’t want certain roles posted on Hatch?
When you set up your connection, Hatch will post all entry, junior and mid-level roles. Hatch will never post the following roles:
Senior or executive roles that require six or more years of experience
Roles that are marked as "confidential" in your ATS (some ATS' might refer to this differently)
Hatch reviews each role before it goes live, so if we're uncertain, we'll check with you. If you have a particular role that you'd like to prevent from going live on Hatch, please reach out to us at ask@hatch.team to let us know.
Once a role is live the contact associated with the job req in your ATS will be sent an email with a link to the live role. If they'd like the role closed, they can do so via the link included in the email.
How can I disconnect/turn off my connection with Hatch?
Currently, disabling Hatch's connection has to be done manually. Please get in contact with us at ask@hatch.team and we'll organise this for you.
How does the connection work?
Once you’ve set up your connection, roles that you’ve nominated will go live on Hatch automatically and you’ll see candidates appear in your ATS with Hatch as the source. You’ll need to review these candidates in Hatch by clicking the Hatch link associated with that candidate. Once you make a decision on them in Hatch, we’ll push through the remaining information on that candidate for you to move them forward in the hiring process.
