Why Hatch
Hatch is a Sydney-based tech company founded by Adam Jacobs (cofounder The Iconic) and Chaz Heitner (cofounder Zip Co). Our mission is for all people to find meaning in work.
Finding jobs is hard work, and hiring the right person is equally challenging. There’s been limited innovation in this space for a long time. Job boards still operate on industrial era principles of static CVs and job descriptions that keep people in boxes. We can do better. Much better.
Hatch is a new jobs marketplace that’s changing how people discover work they love. Modern AI matching technology matches candidates based on their underlying skills, values, and motivations. The re-imagined profile and job search experience provides a unique view into team and candidate cultures to help create great matches; more like a social community than an advertising board. The result is a level playing field where anyone can find meaning in work.
Hatch has seen rapid 10x growth in the past year, and is rapidly becoming the preferred job platform for Gen Z and beyond. More than 150,000 candidates and 120 employers now use Hatch, including Airtasker, Domain, HelloFresh, Hnry, News Corp, Nine, Qantas, Uber, and Woolworths. After an exciting fundraise we’re growing our team!
