Case Study: Westpac hires rising young talent to boost projects with Hatch

How Westpac is placing Australia’s top young talent on its projects, delivering immediate business value through new skills and fresh perspective

Westpac, one of Australia’s biggest banks, needed a faster and more flexible way to hire diverse early-career talent for a range of evolving projects. The bank turned to Hatch and its Hire with Hatch service to access young, ambitious candidates without lengthy recruitment cycles.

Using Hatch, Westpac hired 58 interns across roles in tech, marketing, design, analytics, and operations, with Hatch handling onboarding, payroll, and employment admin. The result was immediate business value from fresh skills and perspectives, and more than 50% of placements were extended or converted to full-time roles, showing the strong impact Hatch delivered for Westpac.
