Ashby review

Ashby is the most complete product on this list for a company that hires every month. The ATS covers job posting to its hosted board and the big boards, quick apply, referrals, an internal job board, auto-reject rules and bulk actions on candidates. On top sits a sourcing layer with outreach sequences across email and LinkedIn, talent pools and AI search over your past candidates, plus an AI review step that scores inbound applications against criteria you set for each job. Reporting is a core strength, and Ashby sells its analytics separately to teams on other systems. The Foundations plan for companies up to 100 employees is priced on the page, starting at $400 per month and rising with headcount, which is more open than Greenhouse or Lever. That price is still high for a firm filling three roles a year, and SSO costs $100 per month extra. For a 30 to 300 person company with an in-house recruiter, it is the strongest buy.

Who it is for

Companies up to a few hundred people that hire steadily and want reporting and outreach in the same tool as the pipeline.
