Hey everyone 👋🏻, this is Jaclyn, I am the co-founder and CEO of Hatchways.
I'm incredibly proud of the work my team has done over the last few years (especially through hyper-turbulent tech hiring times!) Today, I’m excited to share a brand new version of Hatchways: Hatchways 2.0.
We started our journey years back when were part of Y Combinator. Our concept then was internships as a replacement for interviews. We’ve always been passionate about helping people from all walks of life land a job based on their skills, regardless of school, connections, or interviewing abilities.
Over time, we realized the challenge in solving this problem lies in the fact that companies lack incentives to improve their processes unless it saves them money or time. Hatchways 2.0 addresses this by streamlining the interview process for companies, thus saving them time while helping them identify and hire top talent. Today’s launch brings together all of our years of learnings into one beautifully designed self-serve platform.
With Hatchways 2.0, companies can:
✨ Access our platform for free for up to 10 invites per month!
🧰 Select and modify from existing, real-world GitHub tasks or customize your own to fit specific requirements
🦄 Seamlessly add automation using our unique .hatchways.gitignore files and GitHub Actions software
🤖 Try our ChatGPT-enhanced assessment, simulating a pair programming interview through interactive coding tasks
📈 Send, track, and receive assessments. Monitor candidates' progress on a Kanban board
🔗 Connect with your Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby ATS system
💰💰 Get a bespoke assessment made for your specific use case. Up until September 1st, Product Hunt members can receive 50% off a bespoke assessment by mentioning PH launch to Hatchways.
What else would you like to see? How can we continue to make the interview process more enjoyable and fair for candidates? 🌎
If I can throw a nerf football at you and you don’t email HR and laugh it off because we’re normal humans…
I’ll most likely hire you. Upvoted!!
Hiring ain’t easy
On top of making your interviews more objective and relevant, the candidate experience with Hatchawys is also super seamless & slick which is a great bonus. Awesome launch!
I have tried the beta for Hatchways and I love it. The interview practices for software engineers need to change and Hatchway has got it right imo.
As a hiring platform: this is a game-changer!
In hiring vetting is everything -- and what hatchways does makes vetting scalable and customizable.
Congrats on the launching! This is solving a big recruiting pain point with technical interviews
Congrats Jaclyn and Shums! It’s so tricky to balance being efficient with your hiring time and energy vs. getting signal and creating a great candidate experience—This seems to square that circle!
Congrats on the launch team! We've used Hatchways successfully for hires on our team - the mix of real exercises with actionable feedback resonated deeply with our candidates, and ultimately fit exactly into our hiring process. Keep up the amazing work!
Finally a hiring product that optimizes its experience for what actually makes an effective engineer instead of someone who has grinded on hacker rank like an engineering job was a college exam.
Love this guys! Our team is completely remote and async and have tried a bunch of different products to make interviewing high-signal, but also not take a lot of time.
What are some best practices for ow Hatchways plugs into an existing company's in-person interview process?
Congrats on launching 🎉 This looks like a robust assessment for technical interviews.
Curious to see, can it integrate with HRIS like BambooHR?
Congratulations on the launch of Hatchways 2.0, Jaclyn! 🎉 It's impressive to see how you've evolved the platform to streamline the interview process and empower companies to identify top talent.
To further enhance the user experience and ensure secure and efficient user verification, have you considered exploring OTP-less for authentication? It would provide a seamless and hassle-free verification process for candidates, aligning with your goal of making the interview process more enjoyable and fair. Keep up the great work! 👍 bit.ly/try-otpless
