Ashby

What Is Ashby?

Ashby is an all-in-one recruiting platform that combines an applicant tracking system, sourcing CRM, scheduling, and analytics into a single product. The platform is designed to replace the patchwork of point tools most talent teams stitch together to run hiring. The platform embeds AI across multiple stages of the funnel, from reviewing inbound applications to summarizing interview feedback.

What Is Ashby Best For?

A standout feature of Ashby is its AI-assisted application review, which screens inbound applications against role-specific criteria. It cites evidence behind every suggestion, so reviewers can verify a match rather than trust a black box. This is particularly useful for talent teams facing high application volume relative to headcount, where manual resume screening becomes a bottleneck.

How Much Does Ashby Cost?

Ashby pricing starts at $300/month (1-10 users) for its Foundations plan. Additional plans include:

• Plus Plan - Custom pricing

It also offers two add-ons: Advanced Scheduling and AI Notetaker at custom rates. Beyond the base subscription, organizations should also consider a few additional costs when budgeting for Ashby:

Ashby Use Cases

Based on our analysis of user feedback and Ashby’s current capabilities, there are several situations where the platform can be a particularly good fit for talent acquisition teams.

First Recruiting Hire Building The Function From Scratch

Many early-stage companies bring on their first dedicated recruiter or TA lead long after hiring has already started informally through spreadsheets and email threads. That person needs a system that can bring structure to recruiting without introducing several separate tools.  Ashby fits well here because recruiters can set up job postings, hiring pipelines, and outreach workflows while putting more structure around the process from the beginning.

Growth-Stage Companies Consolidating A Fragmented Recruiting Stack

Growth-stage companies often accumulate separate tools for applicant tracking, sourcing, scheduling, and reporting, each with its own login and its own version of the truth. When these systems stop talking to each other, recruiters lose time reconciling data instead of moving candidates forward. Ashby's ATS, CRM, scheduling, and analytics modules run on one shared data layer. That means information such as a candidate’s sourcing activity, interview feedback, and current pipeline stage can stay connected in one place.

Teams Coordinating Interviews Across Multiple Interviewers And Time Zones

As hiring teams grow, scheduling stops being a two-person calendar check and becomes a coordination problem involving panels, time zones, and interviewer availability windows. Recruiters can spend significant time chasing confirmations instead of managing candidate relationships. Ashby’s scheduling module is built to reduce that back-and-forth. Candidates can book eligible interviews through scheduling links, while recruiters can coordinate more complex interview schedules across multiple days and interviewers.

Is Ashby Right For You?

If your recruiting team manages multiple hiring workflows or several open positions at once, Ashby can be a good fit. It offers tools for tracking candidates, coordinating interviews, and managing hiring data in one platform and can scale to user needs. On the security side, Ashby is SOC 2 Type 2 audited annually, encrypts stored data using AES-256, and secures data in transit with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.
