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.

AI insights

Employee feedback

AI summarised feedback about Employment Hero, based on Glassdoor company reviews.

Glassdoor rating

Last 12 months

3.4

Pros
  • Good compensation
  • Annual all-company paid international trip
  • Flexibility of working from home
Cons
  • Employees have expressed concerns about leadership communication and decision-making, particularly in the sales department, where changes have reportedly led to reduced commissions and a perceived decrease in overall compensation, despite nominal pay raises.
  • There is a sentiment among some staff that the company's expansion into new markets has been poorly executed, with inadequate due diligence and a lack of experience from the Global Head of Sales, contributing to a deteriorating sales team culture and limited career progression opportunities.
  • Concerns have been raised about the company's internal culture, with reports of high pressure, micromanagement, and a lack of appreciation for employee contributions, which some feel has been exacerbated by the remote-first work environment and insufficient attention to HR practices.
