Ashby

Overview

Ashby is the modern challenger to Greenhouse and Lever, and its differentiator is data. Most applicant tracking systems bolt reporting on at the end; Ashby was built around an analytics engine, so funnel conversion, source quality, interviewer load and time-to-hire are answerable without exporting to a spreadsheet. It sells the analytics module separately to companies stuck on another ATS, which tells you where the confidence is. Around that sits a competent all-in-one: sourcing, scheduling, pipeline management, and an AI notetaker for interviews as an add-on. It suits scaling startups with a real talent function that wants to reason about hiring quantitatively. Two limits. Pricing starts around $400 a month for the entry plan and climbs with headcount, so it is not a tool for a company making its first three hires. And the sheer configurability that makes the reporting powerful also makes onboarding slower than the marketing implies — you get out what you put into the setup.
