@jsteneros Thanks for checking us out Johan, hope to help you hire in the future!
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.
@joshellinger appreciate the support! Here's to hoping we can make this the standard one day!! 🤞 If you have any thoughts on how we can continue to improve the experience for engineers, please let us know!
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!
@bhaskarmurthy Thanks for the continuous support Bhaskar, you've been instrumental in providing ongoing candid feedback so we can improve the product!
As a hiring platform: this is a game-changer!
In hiring vetting is everything -- and what hatchways does makes vetting scalable and customizable.
@yurij_riphyak Thanks Yura, excited to expand use cases and grow with companies like yours!
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!
Congratulations to @jaclynling and @shums_kassam on your new launch! Your platform is amazing and we love it!
@sarupbanskota thanks Sarup, appreciate the comment and support, we do hope to be helping shape the future of hiring!
Congrats on the launch! 🔥 This looks like an effective tool for any dev-based company. Best wishes.
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?
@victor_zhang1 Thanks Victor!
Great question -- we've seen a ton of success in companies building off of the project in an "in-person interview". Either by having a thoughtful discussion on the applicant's decision-making process, what they would do if they had more time, edge cases they hadn't considered etc., and possibly spending 30-60 minutes adding a new feature of refactoring something together on a call (similar to a pair programming exercise).
We've seen this process be the best of both worlds: high signal and an optimal way to spend interviewing time, while providing a less anxious environment for the applicant because they are building off of something they are already familiar with (rather than a programming challenge they may/may not have seen before)!
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!
As a CTO and Full Stack Developer I have to say that I'm impressed. It's a fantastic idea! Giving real-life tasks and not just a coding challenge.
@david_sipos Thanks David! It's definitely important to us that we keep both the candidate experience and the employer experience in mind when continuing to improve the platform! If you have any real-life tasks that you'd like to see in our pre-built catalogue, let me know!
@leo_zhou Great question and thanks for the support Leo! We have integrations with ATS systems like Greenhouse, Lever + Ashby. BambooHR is on our radar though and feel free to reach out to our team if you need that integration, we can prioritize it faster!
@adi_patel Really appreciate the support Adi and pumped to hear about the positive candidate feedback!!
@will_works For sure, lots of challenges to figure out in hiring! Thanks for the support Willay, appreciate it!
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.
@nilans Really appreciate the support Nilan. As you test out and get to know the product, definitely let us know how we can continue to move in the right direction!!
Aight, imma give this one my upvote. the product is ambitious per se and we have to make some changes especially in making it AI proof, but the soon to be engineers of the era have been through online classes. This is not to say that online classes do suck or smth like that, this is mere verification that they really do have what it takes to be an engineer since engineers build shelters, one of human's necessities
@theiblb This is absolutely one of our drivers in making this product! We've always been excited about the world where self-studiers and self-taught programmers could land opportunities just as effectively as traditionally educated folks. Thanks for your support!
