What is Ashby?
An all-in-one recruiting platform that combines an applicant tracking system, interview scheduling, sourcing and candidate CRM, and recruiting analytics, with AI features such as an assistant, application review and an optional notetaker. It runs as a web application, with a Chrome extension for sourcing, a Slack assistant and an MCP server for connecting tools like Claude and ChatGPT.
Who it's for
Companies that hire at growth, startup and enterprise scale; the pricing page sorts plans by headcount (up to 100, 101 to 1,000, and 1,000+ employees). A separate Ashby Analytics product is listed for teams with 100+ employees that want to keep an existing ATS.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- The growth page lists ATS pipelines, custom interview plans, built-in e-signature for offers, scheduling links and interviewer pools, a sourcing Chrome extension with email and LinkedIn sequences, and custom reports and dashboards in one product.
- The AI page lists AI-assisted application review, a chat assistant (also in Slack), custom agents built in natural language, interview feedback summaries that cite the original feedback, talent rediscovery across the CRM, and an AI report builder.
- The AI page says a human must always be involved in decisions, that the AI never ranks applicants or gives numerical ratings, and that features can be toggled on or off.
- The Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 1 Type 2 and EU-US, Swiss-US and UK Data Privacy Framework participation, and the AI page says a third-party auditor (FairNow) ran a bias audit of screening functionality.
- The growth page names 15 integrations, including Google, Slack, Microsoft 365, Workday, Zoom, Rippling, Gusto, HiBob, Checkr, HackerRank, CodeSignal and CoderPad, and says each customer gets a Customer Success Manager.
- The AI page says an MCP server lets tools like Claude and ChatGPT summarize pipelines, prepare interview briefs, generate debriefs or move candidates between stages.
Limitations
- Only the Foundations price is public ($400 a month, up to 100 employees); Plus (101 to 1,000 employees), Enterprise (1,000+) and Ashby Analytics have no listed price and depend on company size, usage and commitment.
- Several items are paid add-ons: the AI Notetaker (all plans), Advanced Scheduling including the AI Auto-Scheduler (Plus), candidate data enrichment (Plus and Enterprise), advanced diversity analytics (Plus), SSO ($100 a month, listed under Foundations), extra candidate texts ($90 per 1,000) and extra AI credits and sourcing email lookups (no price listed).
- Usage is capped by tier: AI credits are 1,500 a month on Foundations, 2,500 per seat per year on Plus and 12,500 per seat per year on Enterprise; outbound texts are 1,000 a month on Foundations, 2,000 per seat per year on Plus and 3,000 on Enterprise; all plans include 200 sourcing email lookups. Foundations is limited to 1 survey and 1 offer template.
- Reporting is basic on Foundations (advanced filtering and grouping, custom dashboards and alerts are on Plus and Enterprise), and custom permission roles are limited to 3 on Plus. The pages read do not list a free plan, free trial, refund terms or implementation fees; the AI page does not mention AI credits while the pricing page does.
- The AI terms name OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock and Google Gemini as third-party providers, say the AI tools apply only to features a customer opts into, and make the customer responsible for checking AI output and for honoring interview participants' opt-outs when using the notetaker.
