about hiring with Hatch
How many people do I receive per shortlist?

Does hatch integrate with my ATS?
Integrations with Applicant Tracking Systems are planned in our product roadmap. For now, we simply pass the candidate data to you in a csv file that is configured for easy upload into your ATS.
How does the candidate journey work?
Hatch acts as a ‘secondary step’ in your application journey after your initial job advertising channels. You can choose between two ways of how this works:
Candidates apply to your ad on job boards (eg. LinkedIn, Seek, Indeed) and click through directly to your custom application on Hatch.
Candidates apply to your ad on job boards, and click through to submit an initial application via your ATS (Eg. Lever, Greenhouse, Workable). Candidates then receive an automated email, notifying them that their application has been received and directing them to Hatch continue their application.
We’ll discuss the best approach based on your existing processes, hiring software and open role before publishing. Read this support article for more detailed information about this topic.
How does the candidate journey work?
All applications are branded with your company logo. The application questions (both written and video responses) are designed by our Matching Science team based on a detailed job analysis specific to your role. After you receive your shortlist, candidates you want to interview follow your desired hiring process.
