Where it began

Hatched Talent was created by Craig to give SMEs a smarter, fairer way to hire. After 20+ years in recruitment, he saw how often smaller businesses were overpaying and under-served.

The Hatched model is direct, transparent and actually works for growing companies. Today, Hatched keeps hiring simple, cost-effective and genuinely supportive for the teams it serves.

First class experience from Craig. Not only did he find me the perfect candidate for our business (saving me loads of time in searching myself) but also saved me a lot of money in the process (circa £5k less than a quote I had from another recruitment company). I will 100% use Craig again when looking for our next candidate. Highly recommend!

5* without question! Hatched has been brilliant in finding multiple staff for us at KPA Property Management! As a growing business, finding the right people to add to your team is essential but can be very time-consuming. The variety of services offered by Hatched, from their Hatched Lite service for monitoring incoming applicants to their traditional recruitment headhunting service, allows us to pick and choose what we need at any moment. Our experience working with Hatched Talent Solutions has been phenomenal. They took the time to understand our business, its needs, and the culture of our company, ensuring that all proposed candidates were suitable. The results have been great too. Thanks to Hatched, we were able to fill a more senior role within the team that had been a challenge to fill for around 18 months, as well as another junior role, all within a few weeks! Their team is professional, with a wealth of recruitment experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a recruitment specialist who really understands the needs of SMEs. A massive thank you to Hatched from the team at KPA, and we look forward to working together for many years to come.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with Craig and Jo from Hatched Talent Solutions. I needed to fill a project management role urgently, and their team exceeded my expectations by finding the perfect candidate in just five days. Their direct approach was not only efficient but also incredibly effective. I was amazed at how quickly they delivered a fast, affordable, and high-quality service, just as promised. Craig and Jo's dedication and expertise were evident throughout the process, making what seemed like an impossible task not only achievable but enjoyable. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Hatched Talent Solutions to anyone seeking reliable recruitment support.

From start to finish, Hatched Talent were fantastic. Clear communication, asking the correct questions to ensure they find us the right candidates. Openly ask for feedback to adjust their search and/or process. In short, they do exactly what they say they will do and do it amazingly!

I had an incredibly positive experience with Hatched Talent Solutions. Craig went above and beyond to find a suitable role that aligned with my skills and career goals. Instead of simply sending me for interviews, he took the time to understand my experience and the company culture to ensure it would be beneficial for me and the company. Craig's dedication and personalised approach made all the difference. I highly recommend Hatched Talent Solutions for their exceptional service.

Dear Craig, I am writing to extend my heartfelt thanks for the outstanding assistance you provided in helping us find an admin assistant. We had been struggling for quite some time to fill this critical role, but with your expertise and dedication, you managed to achieve it in just three short weeks. Your understanding of our specific requirements and the culture of our company was evident from the outset. You took the time to listen to our needs and provided invaluable advice and support throughout the entire recruitment process. The candidates you presented were all well-qualified, making it clear that you had carefully screened each one to ensure they would be a great fit for our team. The efficiency and professionalism with which you handled everything were truly impressive. Your proactive communication and updates kept us informed every step of the way, alleviating the stress typically associated with recruitment. Your ability to quickly identify and present the right candidate not only saved us a great deal of time but also allowed us to continue our operations smoothly without the prolonged disruption. Thanks to your efforts, we now have an excellent admin assistant who is already making a positive impact on our team.
