Ashby Insights
What We Do
Ashby helps scaling companies achieve their ambitious growth targets. With Ashby, teams of all sizes can run a fast and efficient hiring process. Trusted by companies including Shopify, Snowflake, Notion, Zapier and Reddit We’re convinced there’s a lot of room for improvement in not just recruiting tools but people tools and, in general, how software products are built. There are two parts to this: the quality of the product and how the product is made. Let's start with outputs. We are continuously disappointed about the state of software products today —software should be more intelligent, powerful, and doing much more for us. Today, most business software is still a simple database with few delightful and truly helpful features. We also believe that productivity in software engineering hasn't increased nearly as much as it should have. Part of that is the lack of building blocks that can be reused across features and applications. The other part is how teams are organized and managed. We aim to innovate in both areas. Outside of the domain we're building for today (people software and, more specifically, recruiting software), Ashby is also an experiment in how fast a team can build great products over many, many years.
