Unlock Potential. Redefine Talent.

Flexible, outcomes-driven talent solutions that empower underrepresented groups and deliver measurable impact for your workforce, your community, and your bottom line.

What If the Best Person for the Job Doesn’t Have a CV?

Hatch Digital delivers inclusive, high-performance talent pipelines by shifting the focus from CVs to potential. We identify, assess, and develop individuals from overlooked communities, training them in practical, job-ready skills tailored to your roles and tech stack.

From junior hiring to internal workforce transformation, we help organisations meet their talent, innovation, and inclusion goals through flexible, outcomes-led pathways that work.

Who We Support

Our model is proven across a wide range of underrepresented communities, creating pathways into meaningful tech roles for people too often excluded from traditional hiring.

We’ve successfully delivered impact for:

  • Women in Tech
  • NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training)
  • Prison Leavers and People in Custody Preparing for Release
  • Long-Term Unemployed
  • Care Leavers
  • Disabled Adults
  • Armed Forces Veterans

Whether your goals are commercial, social value-driven, or both, we can focus delivery regionally, nationally, or at a hyper-local level aligned to your priorities.

“When Roke made the decision to establish The Roke Academy, we needed a partner in every sense of the word. Hatch Digital perfectly matched our own entrepreneurial culture and impatience to build the best programme possible. The result has been the establishing of a long term investment to find and employ previously undiscovered talent in support of Roke and Roke’s customer missions.”

Defence Hiring Solutions

We’re helping defence and national security partners solve one of the biggest challenges in the market: building capability in roles that require security clearance.

Traditional models struggle with the cost and delay of unbillable time. We’ve adapted our approach to help organisations build cleared pipelines more sustainably:

  • Deferred Start Dates where onboarding requires clearance
  • Extended Training Windows during the wait period to deepen technical skills and raise day-one value
  • Structured Sandbox Time for R&D, internal tooling, and IP development while waiting for clearance

This approach helps our clients build stronger, more diverse tech talent pipelines without compromising on quality or absorbing unnecessary cost.

Where cost is absorbed, it becomes easier to justify and recover through smarter programme design.

Delivering Women-in-Tech at Capgemini

Capgemini’s HMRC market unit approached Hatch with two requirements: to drive female representation across its tech workforce and to identify new & consistent sources of entry-level tech talent.

Finding & Developing Local Software Talent

Hatch partnered with giffgaff to create The Software Engineer Academy, hiring ‘undiscovered’ local talent with enormous potential, but who had previously faced barriers-to-entry into tech, and training them in the way giffgaff does things.
