Kirill’s Story
As a recent graduate and new immigrant to Canada, Kirill struggled with articulating his value. But Hatch helped with that:
Balancing technical depth with Canadian market expectations.
Moving past "blank page" syndrome during application tailoring.
Securing a Software Engineering offer at SAP.
Overthinking every application
Kirill had software engineering experience at global firms and the necessary skills. However, as he looked toward his next major career move at SAP, he hit a common barrier for newcomers: the “Resume Loop.”
Even with high-quality experience, he struggled with:
Over-editing: Spending 120 to 180 minutes per application trying to "perfect" the wording for the Canadian market.
Relevance Mapping: Deciding which specific projects from his previous work experience would catch the eye of an SAP recruiter.
Second-Guessing: Constantly rewriting his narrative, which led to "stalled progress" and "application anxiety".
As a new grad with international roots, I wasn't sure how to prioritize my experience. I'd sit down to apply and get stuck in loops: change a sentence, delete it, rewrite it again. I wasted hours tweaking instead of actually sending applications.

Strategic intelligence over manual labor
Kirill knew that generic AI tools often produce robotic results that miss technical nuances. He needed a tool that understood strategy-level intelligence: something that could help him decide how to anchor his resume on a specific project from his past.
Hatch acted as his digital co-coach, handling the mechanical prep so Kirill could focus on applying.
Hatch made it clear which parts of my experience actually mattered for each job. Instead of second-guessing every line, I could send applications that felt sharp and relevant. It gave me the confidence that my resume would stand out among thousands of applicants.

The result: A career at SAP
By offloading the "busywork" of tailoring, Kirill was able to increase his application volume without sacrificing quality. He moved from over-editing to interviewing, ultimately landing a Software Engineering role at SAP Analytics Cloud.
