Hatch I.T., software tech recruiter for D.C., opens second Durham location

The Bull City is readying itself for another rapid-growth startup - and this one aimed at the hyper-local tech industry.

hatch I.T, a Virginia-based recruitment firm covering the Washington, D.C. metro area, has set up a second office in Durham’s American Underground. Its mission: to connect software engineers with tech startups using “hyper-local, highly specialized recruiting models.”

“hatch has developed a platform that provides a roadmap to guide startups from MVP through all stages of growth. After proving this model with dozens of startups across DC, Maryland, & Virginia, we realized it was needed in all emerging startup markets,” explained Chris Mills, hatch I.T’s data marketing strategist. “With the momentum we saw in the Triangle, it was a no brainer to expand into Raleigh/Durham.”

It all started back in 2013 when its founder and CEO Tim Winkler, realized that traditional staffing models didn’t align with the growth needs of startups.

“Working with those firms felt transactional and the costs were way outside a startup’s budget. There was a need for a solution that was relational, community driven, and flexibly priced. With this in mind, hatch I.T. was formed,” Mills recalled.
