Launch HN: Hatchways (YC S19) – Internships Instead of Interviews

I don't mean to be critical of the other startups coming out of YC 2019, but some of the problems they are solving are so niche that they don't even register beyond metropolitan cities like San Francisco.

This is a difficult problem to solve because we've heard 100s of times about how hiring is broken.

The problem also scales beyond software engineering jobs because shitty hiring processes exist across most industries.

I hope you guys succeed, just so that you can show the world that hiring doesn't need to be the shitty (and sometimes elitist) process it has become.

Thank you for this.

It's a very difficult problem to solve because many employers are stuck in their own ways and going to go to big /enterprise companies and telling them they can't look at resumes if they work with us is usually an easy no for them. But we're hoping that if more and more startups work with us and if we can prove that this model is more effective for growing tech startups than hopefully, the big guys will latch on too.
