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

3.1

Pros
  • Great office space and culture
  • Opportunities for professional development
  • Work/life balance and supportive management
Cons
  • Employees have expressed concerns about compensation, feeling that their salaries are not reflective of their efforts and that there is a lack of parking privileges for those below a certain level, which may contribute to a sense of undervaluation and inequality within the company.
  • There appears to be a sentiment of dissatisfaction with leadership and management practices, where employees perceive a culture of blame rather than support, poor communication and backbiting among managers, and a lack of clear career progression and concern for staff well-being.
  • Some employees have reported ethical concerns regarding the misalignment of projects with team skills, the exploitation of junior staff with false promises, and pressure to work from the office during periods when health guidelines suggested otherwise, suggesting a potential disconnect between company practices and employee expectations of ethical and flexible work environments.
