what's the problem?
All universities have student organizations that have some type of selective membership. This can include fraternities and sororities, pre-professional clubs, and even robotics and debate teams.

Every year, these organizations undertake the arduous process of sifting through hundreds of applicants to select new members. With so many applicants to keep track of, recruiting can quickly become an organizational nightmare. Leaders often rely on a combination of tools like Google Forms, paper ballots, and group texts to collect feedback on applicants.

With no easy way to centralize applicant feedback, leaders are overwhelmed with information and members are frustrated that their voices are not being heard.
what's the solution?
Hatch is a social recruitment platform made for tight-knit, selective groups. With Hatch, organizations can keep all of their recruitment data in one place.

Hatch creates a profile for each applicant, and members can engage with these profiles by liking and commenting on them. our vision is a recruitment process that is collaborative, transparent, and streamlined for all parties involved.
