Ashby review

Best for: scaling startups.

Ashby bundles the four things a growing hiring team keeps buying separately: an ATS, interview scheduling, a careers site and sourcing CRM, and reporting. The reporting is the reason people switch. You can ask how many onsite interviews each recruiter ran last month, where candidates from a given source drop out, and how long each stage takes, without a data team.

The product assumes a structured process. If your company runs interviews informally, Ashby's scorecards, interview plans and approval chains will feel like more process than you want. If you are hiring 30-plus people a year it is exactly the right amount.

Pricing is quoted per company rather than published; expect it to start in the low hundreds per month for a small team and rise with headcount.

• #10 in Best Enterprise Recruitment Tools: Increasingly chosen by 1,000–5,000 employee tech companies replacing Greenhouse for analytics.
• #1 in Best Recruitment Tools for Hiring Engineers: Structured interview plans, scorecards and the analytics engineering leaders ask for.
• #8 in Best AI Recruitment Tools: AI summaries and assistance inside a strong ATS.

Head-to-head
