"Data-Driven Recruiting with Powerful Reporting, Automations, and Flexibility"

5/5

What do you like best about Ashby?

Our main reason for choosing Ashby was its focus on a data-driven approach to recruitment and strong functionality around reporting. As TA Lead, it is important to me to have correct and easy-to-access data about my team's performance, which is always live and up-to-date. And I can report on almost any metric or field in the system and create comprehensive dashboards with visualizations that I can share with management.

Other than that, Ashby has useful automations (scheduling, feedback collection, email campaigns, native integrations with Slack, HRM systems, notetaker, and Zapier). They also release new features constantly that help improve the usability of the platform. It is also very flexible and can be customised according to our needs, with various options to add custom fields that are specific to our business.

We haven't tested many AI features yet, but they are definitely in our backlog, as I see potential for our workflows. What's important for me is that AI functionality should support hiring decisions rather than making them, so I appreciate Ashby's approach to developing their AI features that still remain human-centric.

What do you dislike about Ashby?

As a recruitment agency and service company, we find some of Ashby's functionality less relevant to our needs, as the platform is primarily designed for internal hiring teams.

One feature we would particularly benefit from is the ability to share candidate profiles with external stakeholders who don't have Ashby accounts. Since our clients typically don't need or want access to our ATS, a simple way to share candidate profiles externally would help us streamline collaboration and reduce our reliance on additional tools.

That said, we understand that this limitation is largely related to our specific business model, and it hasn't significantly disrupted our workflows. We can also use integrations like Zapier to automate processes between Ashby and other tools, which helps bridge some of these gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ashby solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned previously, Ashby helps us keep our recruitment processes organised and gives us a much better understanding of how our team is performing.

For me, the biggest benefit is having all the data in one place and being able to access it whenever I need it, without spending hours collecting information or preparing reports manually. I can easily track our recruitment performance, spot bottlenecks, understand where we can improve, and share insights with management.

It also saves our team time by automating routine tasks like scheduling, collecting feedback, and sending emails. Since we work as a recruitment agency and manage different clients and types of roles, I also really appreciate how flexible Ashby is and how much we can customise it to fit our processes.

Overall, it helps us spend less time on administrative work and more time on actual recruitment, while making it easier to manage the team and make decisions based on real data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
