Exploring New ATS Options: Is Ashby the Right Choice for Us?

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance our recruitment processes, we are currently evaluating new Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Since 2019, we’ve relied on Lever, and while it has served us well, we’ve recently encountered some challenges, including system instability and issues with email attachments. Furthermore, we feel that the platform is lacking in innovation.

An area of frustration for us is the absence of integration with Calendly, as well as the outdated features of their built-in calendar tool. These limitations have prompted us to consider a change.

Recently, we’ve heard a lot about Ashby, which seems to be gaining traction in the ATS space. I can’t help but notice how active the Ashby team is on LinkedIn, often chiming in whenever their name comes up. This has led me to wonder if they might be the top contender for our needs. However, I’m also aware that they might have significant marketing efforts and sponsored clients, which makes me question how unbiased the reviews might be.

As we look ahead, our team of 550 is gearing up for a significant hiring phase, aiming to add 200 new team members next year. Therefore, it is crucial for us to choose an ATS that can support our growth effectively without compromising on functionality.

I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience using Ashby or can share insights on other platforms that might meet our needs. Your feedback could be invaluable as we make this important decision.
