What makes Ashby different?
All-in-One
With Ashby All-in-One, your ATS, Scheduling, CRM & Sourcing, and Analytics all live in one place. Using a single tool to power your recruiting process is not only easier, but also unlocks workflows and reporting insights not possible with a disparate talent tech stack.
One Tool, One Team
With other ATSs, you need to integrate multiple tools and worry about trust in the data. Not only is it painful to manage multiple support teams, data sets and logins, it can slow your team down - making it harder to onboard new team members and prioritize which tools to use when. Work with one best-in-class team at Ashby to keep your company moving forward as you scale.
Single Source of Truth
Ashby is your single source of truth for all things recruiting. This includes all of your historical candidate data and communications through a deep integration with Gmail and Office 365. Get access to accurate, real-time data to make informed decisions without needing to rectify conflicting datasets in spreadsheets.
Scheduling
Scheduling is a core capability in Ashby. A deep bi-directional integration with Google & Office 365 gives full visibility into visual calendar availability and allows Ashby to send real calendar invites to candidates, not attached .ICS files. Native functionality enables scheduling links, direct booking, interview pools, and candidate availability requests. Advanced automation uses AI to manage complex scheduling needs for interviews and debriefs.
Sourcing
Ashby’s sourcing capabilities allow you to engage and connect with candidates at scale with tools like the sourcing chrome extension. Add candidates from LinkedIn to Ashby in one click. Send multi-channel outreach sequences via email or LinkedIn with AI personalization to maximize candidate response rates. Powerful AI-assisted search and structured candidate data allow you to quickly find talent with any fields and filters in the CRM.
Reporting & Analytics
Ashby’s consolidated data layer runs across the entire platform, giving you real-time insights and alerts from all parts of your recruiting process without the need for spreadsheets or manual data manipulation. Access reliable and actionable data to drill down into any part of your process, uncover insights, and power strategic conversations with your business partners.
Surveys
Surveys in Ashby allow you to gather data on candidate experience, hiring manager experience, and quality of hire, enabling your team to build a 360-degree view on recruiter performance and impact.
Ashby is the dream ATS I've been waiting for! I’ve never had as much visibility into my own pipeline data as I do now. Previously, I had to rely on reporting that couldn’t be customized and had to manually manipulate data while also having to rely on anecdotal information to tell a story. It was a disconnected mess. With Ashby, I can get as granular as I want in seconds.

Data and Reporting
Ashby All-in-One is the only ATS on the market where you can execute on recruiting operations, measure their effectiveness, and make improvements based on these insights, all without leaving the tool for a spreadsheet or integration partners. Customizable reports, alerts, and dashboards make TA teams strategic partners to the business, delivering high-quality insights to stakeholders and enabling data-driven decisions.
Visibility
Instill confidence in your leadership team with real time access to the data they need presented on interactive dashboards. Align your TA team without needing to submit data requests to a data analyst.
Accurate and Transparent
Other tools require the integration of conflicting data models, leading to inaccurate and inconsistent reporting across tools. Ashby’s consolidated data layer gives consistency to your reporting and analysis and transparency into how reports are built from your candidate and job data.
Robust Reporting Tools
Report, filter, and group by any field or activity in the ATS, including custom and calculated fields. BI-tool-level flexibility for both report building and editing allows you to create totally custom dashboards for any stakeholder in your organization.
Measure, Analyze, Implement
Ashby allows you to measure metrics like QOH (Quality of Hire), drill down into what hiring managers, sourcers, or stages in the process are having the most impact on QOH, and take action to improve those metrics – all in one place.
Ashby is a game-changer for the TA reputation as a whole. We want to be business advisors, not just task-takers. And the fastest way to do that is through actionable and well-presented analytics. We’re able to build reports to answer any question in minutes – and to proactively share data to drive recommendations.

Scalability
Whether you’re a high-growth company with evolving needs, or a large enterprise, Ashby is built to support TA teams' needs at scale.
All-in-One
Manage one tool without the need to context-switch between platforms, onboard new team members to multiple tools, or manage a number of different support teams, integrations, data sets and subscriptions.
Flexibility
Make changes to your workflow in a scalable and effective way. Easily make a change to a shared interview plan or feedback form and push those updates to multiple jobs without needing to update each job manually. Whether you need to mandate standardization across the team or allow for customization, Ashby is flexible to your needs.
Collaboration
Functionality like the deep Workday integration or headcount management helps build a bridge between TA teams and other departments. Finance can leverage accurate data from Ashby’s ATS to understand how TA is executing against the headcount plan in real time. In other tools, standard activities like managing evergreen roles often yield inaccurate data points that inhibit Finance and TA’s ability to collaborate.
Seat-based Pricing
Ashby’s seat-based pricing model aligns to your team’s hiring needs, and not just the scale of your company. This puts Ashby customers in control of their costs as they grow, and eliminates black-box pricing surprises at the time of renewal.
Ashby all day long. We compared Lever, Greenhouse and Workable. I’ve personally used all 3. We went with Ashby and it’s the literally the best. Full implementation in 3 weeks (including into Workday), incredible customer support, fully customisable with some real powerful data. We didn’t need to bring anybody in to do the Workday integration either. All done in house and with Ashby! With Greenhouse we would’ve had to bring a WD consultant in and it was a lot of extra $ and time.

Customization
Ashby was built to support unparalleled levels of customization. Unlike other tools, Ashby enables your team to design workflows around the needs of the business and not the constraints of their tooling. Whether you run a job-centric or candidate-centric recruitment process, Ashby supports your needs.
Data Integrity
Customize your interview plans however you’d like: by team, department, job, region, etc. Maintain data integrity by connecting each custom interview stage to higher level interview stage groups for consistent, centralized reporting across all of your jobs.
Build for Your Process
Rate candidates on the attributes and scales that make sense for your business, not only what is available as a default scoring system in the tool.
Custom Reports, Dashboards and Alerts
Customers of other ATSs often work out of spreadsheets or partner with Business Intelligence teams to build reports and dashboards customized to their business needs. Ashby’s native, robust analytics capabilities allow you to customize any report or dashboard tailored to you and your key stakeholders’ needs. Customize alerts in any area of the product to maintain internal service levels, keep your team aligned, and quickly progress candidates through your funnel.
Traditionally we used to build with the system in mind; What can the system do? This was not candidate-centric, not user-centric. One of the things we really enjoy about Ashby is the customization that allows us to build with our end user in mind. We think about the candidate journey and where Ashby can help build for it. We feel very confident we can build the experience we want without worrying about the capabilities of the system.

Planning and Strategy
Ashby helps customers support the business's strategic priorities with planning and strategy tools that align talent priorities to the business’s growth, ensure consistency in process, and ties recruiting activities to quality of hire.
Recruiting Planner
Ashby allows you to build out a recruiting plan for your team, an individual recruiter, a specific department or your entire organization, so you can set proper expectations with stakeholders and re-allocate resources where needed to hit your hiring goals. Enter your target hire number and Ashby will build a hiring plan based on your historical pass-through rates.
Openings and Jobs
In Ashby, Openings and Jobs are separate but interrelated functions that allow TA teams to track progress against headcount plans, manage headcount approval workflows, and hire into evergreen roles without skewing key metrics like time to fill.
Approvals
Across Jobs, Openings and Offers, Ashby allows TA teams to build dynamic approval processes, ensuring consistency across your team. Implementing dynamic approvers in your recruiting process prevents delays that can occur when relying on a single, static individual for approvals.
Quality of Hire
Ashby is the only ATS on the market with a solution to collect Quality of Hire data close to the point of hire—not 6-12 months later. Quality of Hire data can optimize sourcing efforts, improve interview calibration, and reduce costly mis-hires. With Quality of Hire data, the Head of Talent can demonstrate their team’s impact on talent density and address what is often a CEO-level imperative in a highly competitive talent market.

Greenhouse customers switching to Ashby in the last year
I left Greenhouse for Ashby about 8 months ago and it has continued to be the best decision. The functionality, customization, and customer service are amazing - but it's the data and reporting that really make them stand out and have been a game changer. I've been impressed with the continual product updates, they truly listen to their customers and understand the market better than any ATS product team out there.
