Overview

Ashby, founded in 2018, builds an applicant tracking system designed around built-in recruiting analytics and AI sourcing tools from the ground up, aimed at teams who find legacy ATS platforms strong on process tracking but weak on the reporting and forecasting recruiting leaders actually need.

The platform combines the core ATS workflow, job requisitions, candidate pipelines, interview scheduling, with native analytics dashboards and AI-assisted sourcing, so recruiting leadership doesn't need to export data into a separate BI tool to see hiring funnel performance.

Pricing starts at $400 per month for its Foundations plan covering smaller teams, with custom-quoted Plus and Enterprise tiers scaling into the tens of thousands of dollars annually for larger organizations. For a recruiting team that wants analytics and forecasting built into its ATS rather than assembled from exported spreadsheets, Ashby's integrated approach addresses that directly.

  • Full applicant tracking system with job requisitions, pipelines, and interview scheduling
  • Native recruiting analytics dashboards built into the core product
  • AI-assisted candidate sourcing alongside the core ATS workflow
