Exploring New ATS Options
We’re currently in the market for a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Since 2019, we’ve been using Lever, which has served us well, but we’ve recently encountered some issues, such as email instability and difficulties sending multiple attachments. Additionally, we feel that Lever isn’t innovating as much as we’d like, and their built-in calendar tool feels outdated. Plus, they still haven’t integrated with Calendly, which is a disappointment.
It seems like Ashby has been gaining a lot of attention lately. Does anyone have experience with it? Every time Ashby comes up on LinkedIn, it seems like their team is always right there, which makes me wonder if they might have sponsored clients. Perhaps I’m just being skeptical—maybe they’re really as good as they appear!
As a team of 550, we’re planning to hire 200 more next year, so finding the right ATS is crucial. I’d love to get your thoughts and opinions!

It’s great to see your proactive approach to exploring new ATS options! It sounds like you’ve had your fair share of challenges with Lever, especially regarding the lack of innovation and certain technical issues. It’s essential for your ATS to be robust and up-to-date, especially given your hiring ambitions for the next year.
I’ve heard positive feedback about Ashby, particularly regarding its user-friendly interface, customization options, and strong analytics features. Many users appreciate how it integrates with various tools, including Calendly, which seems to be a significant pain point for you with Lever. The fact that they’re responsive on platforms like LinkedIn could suggest they’re dedicated to their user community. However, I’d recommend reaching out to current users beyond their marketing channels to get unfiltered opinions on functionality, support, and overall satisfaction.
Additionally, you might want to consider a few other ATS options too, such as Greenhouse or SmartRecruiters, which have also received good reviews for their capabilities and integrations. Good luck with your search, and I hope you find an ATS that meets all your team’s needs!
