Our Story

The Hatch story started when good friends Adam Jacobs (Ex THE ICONIC Founder) and Chaz Heitner (Ex Zip Co-founder) came together to build something they were deeply passionate about.
Both founders believe that traditional hiring processes are broken and limit people from finding work that’s a good fit for them. Since founding the company, Adam and Chaz have built a team that shares their mission and are both confident they will continue to build an impactful global company for many years to come.

Glassdoor rating
Last 12 months
- Lot's of opportunity to learn
- Data-driven approach
- Sustainable focus
- Employees perceive a lack of sufficient support and resources, which can lead to feelings of burnout and pressure, and there's a sentiment that the company could benefit from additional staffing and better strategies to manage workload and prevent burnout.
- There seems to be a sense of dissatisfaction with certain internal processes and leadership decisions, with some employees feeling that customer service teams are undervalued and leadership may not be as trustworthy or reflective of the company's original values as desired.
- The fast-paced and dynamic nature of the company, especially during scaling up, appears to contribute to a challenging work environment where prioritization is difficult, job security may feel uncertain, and there's a pressure to perform with high standards amidst constant changes.

Sustainability
They are a part of 1% for the Planet - They put their money where their mouth is. They’re the only Australian mattress and furniture retailer that supports 1% for the Planet, which means they give away one percent of gross sales annually for the good of the planet, people and animals.
Community
As a brand that is proudly Australian owned and centred on strong Australian influences, Koala want to proactively use their collective resources to support, include, advocate and learn more about First Nations Peoples as a way towards influencing a shared sense of national unity and identity. They've built a reconciliation action plan that reflects this.
