What do you like best about Ashby?
I have used multiple ATS' over the last 15x years, many of the market leaders and most well-known industry names. In my new role, I needed to implement a new ATS to replace Lever, which was not working for the founders and leadership. I was already set on going with a tried and trusted system that I used in a previous role, one that everyone knows in the industry. But then I was introduced to Ashby, and the demo completely changed my mind.
For me, the functionality and usability of Ashby as a Recruiter and Recruiting Leader are excellent. The most amazing thing for me is having the automated interview scheduling and booking links embedded into email templates. We no longer have to do manual scheduling, and no longer have to use tools like Calendly. Everything is self-serve now, meaning we no longer need to hire an interview coordinator. We also love how easy it is to cycle through applicants, move people between stages, manage access rights, manage headcount planning and pretty much everything else.
The reporting is also the best I have ever seen in an ATS. On my management updates, I can easily generate and share reports on our current candidate funnel, pass-through rates, offer acceptance rates, future hires, remaining open headcount and literally anything else needed.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with a couple of other reviewers criticising the UI. For us, it is very intuitive and clean and the amount of clicks and steps are minimal. Far lower than in other tools we have all used elsewhere. It just takes a lot of work at the beginning to set things up properly to achieve the self-serve and automation potential.
We also love that we have integrated Ashby seamlessly with our HR tool (HiBob), EOR Partner (Deel), and Checkr. A simple click of a button pushes the data to each tool as needed.
Big shoutout for the CS team also. Morgan was brilliant for us with our Lever migration and Ashby set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Ashby?
There is nothing that I dislike. But I would love to see more development around the compensation bands and offer functionality. Being able to add more data, like equity allocations per opening, splits and OTE in salaries for roles with variable components to their compensation, bonus allocations and frequency of payments, would be very helpful.
