Hatchways

What Hatchways is

Hatchways replaces algorithm puzzles with work that resembles the job. Candidates complete tasks inside a GitHub-style repository: raising pull requests, reviewing code and fixing bugs, with templates so every candidate sees comparable work and hiring teams get scoring and management on top.

What you can do with it

• Set a task close to real engineering work
• Observe how candidates review and collaborate
• Use templates for consistent comparisons
• Score candidates in one place
• Screen developer pipelines at scale

Who it is for

• Engineering managers and hiring leads
• Technical interviewers
• Teams screening developers in volume

What to watch out for

• Candidates unfamiliar with the workflow are disadvantaged regardless of ability; explain the setup and time expectations
• Unpaid take-home style work should be kept short, or paid, to stay fair
• Repository work can be completed by someone else; verification still matters
• Scoring rubrics need review for bias before they drive decisions
