What do you like best about Ashby?

I like the ease of setup and the fact that the team could pick up the main action items quickly. I was able to build out training for my team quickly and the software had similar benefits to the larger products out there. Also, I have dealt with other companies that are slow to respond to my questions and/ or problems. Ashby quickly got back to me with help and it saved me an enormous amount of valuable time.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

Ashby is still growing and there are not as many users out there that know this product. With this is mind, product training is almost a guarantee for any company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I feel like a very powerful wizard indeed."
5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

In short, I love everything about Ashby. As a Talent Acquisition team of ONE, there's not much spare time in my day. Ashby combines so much functionality into a really customizable platform experience that enables me to deliver exceptional results. As the title suggests, this makes me feel like a very powerful wizard indeed.

- The level of customization and automation are incredible

- The prospect emailing within the ATS is very intuitive

- All of my interviewers love the presentation to them

- Customer success and support teams are INCREDIBLE (shout out to Beth)

- Really insightful analytics - I can present exceptional dashboards for exec reviews ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

Honestly, there's nothing I truly dislike about the platform. I think if you're a new user, it really just takes some time to read through Ashby University Notion pages to feel 100% comfortable. At first, it can seem a little overly complex, but the amount of customization and automation you can set up in this platform once you're familiarized with it makes it an incredible tool.

"A game-changing ATS"
5/5
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.

"High value ATS with a ton of functionality"
4/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

Ashby gives you a TON of functionality at a very competitive price point. If you have the time and/or resources to leverage a chunk of what you get, the ROI is likely very high. It's very convenient to have a Linkedin sourcing extension (with contact data) and an email sequencing tool integrated into a solid ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

There's a ton of functionality, so it's easy to get bogged down with stuff you don't really need. The UI could also be a bit more intuitive as it's not always easy to find/do what you need (especially for admins). My biggest gripe is their Linkedin sourcing extension -- you need to go into each candidate profile one by one to add them to Ashby rather than allowing you to use LI's powerful search functionality to add candidates in bulk by selecting from the search results.

"Simple, powerful alternative to Greenhouse"
5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

It's very intuitive. The UI is designed more like a website you're used to using with pop ups (within the original window), and less clicking around than Greenhouse. It's extremely customizable and less expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

Since it's a newer product, it does have some bugs that I have been catching and reporting to our CSM or their very helpful support team. They have fixed every bug in a timely manner though and proactively followed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super powerful product"
5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

Awesome features I love using most and discovering with each update:

-the alias function for email outreach

-the support team's receptiveness to feedback or issues, prompt response and availability

-automations such as autoreject, autoarchive

-the analytics 💜 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

What I felt as a disadvantage, but it's also relating to the team size and our company's resources:

-lookups price

-features that are hidden and need a bit of drill down

-no autosave for notes, feedback forms

-mobile version can be optimized (for example for screening candidates easier I'd love a profile swipe yes/no approach) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An ATS that truly makes your life easier"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

What I like the most about Ashby is definitely their Google Chrome Extension, which allows us to add candidates directly from LinkedIn. It saves us a bunch of time and makes it easier to source collaboratively — we can effortlessly see which candidates have already been contacted by someone else without interrupting our search. Our team worships it!

I also value the clean and intuitive interface and the customizable filters on the candidate pipeline. I've used many Application Tracking Systems before, and Ashby is certainly my favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

The recent product updates were amazing! There were some improvement opportunities back when I started using it, but they have all been addressed along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A brilliant tool, where the right areas are prioritised!"
5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

I love that it is a powerful and intuitive tool that has clearly had investment in the most important areas for ATS power users and hiring managers alike. Other tools often overly invest in gimmicks, but Ashby just does the key actions you need it to really well.

This combined with a steller customer success team, great data dashboards and reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

Whilst Ashby is not the cheapest tool on the market, the automations, templates, reporting and admin structure as well as careers site function are well worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cannot live without Ashby"
5/5
What do you like best about Ashby?

Ashby's customizable reporting capabilities make me a stronger Ops person for my team. I can quickly maneuver reports, set up alerts, and generate various dashboards for different projects or hiring teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

Based on my usage of just the reporting function there isnt much. At times, there are a few bugs that present themselves, but Kyra and the team is quick to address/respond. Understandably since Greenhouse is a separate ATS there will be limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
