As a team, there are a few things we know about systemic change and innovating in a sector that has remained unchanged for quite some time.

It is hard, and it is worth it. 

We remain convinced that people are more than their resumes, and that hiring processes are broken. And so it turns out, over 150,000 young people in Sydney think so too. 2023 at Hatch was by far our most pivotal, and most impactful – and we’re only just getting started. 

Our team is small and mighty and we care deeply about our mission to help as many people as we can, find meaning in work. In this reflection, we’ll highlight some of the most exciting things that have happened this year that have contributed to our rapid growth. Let’s jump in. 

📈 Our community doubled 

In 2023 alone, Hatch doubled the size of its talent pool - over 150,000 early career folk are now using Hatch to land their next career move. What we find most exciting is the way that our community resonates with our mission.

💬 A few of our favourite community quotes of 2023
