Ashby

Connect Ashby and your assistant can work with your recruiting data — candidates, applications, jobs, interviews, offers, and more — so hiring workflows like candidate research, interview prep, and pipeline updates happen without leaving Town.

What’s included

With Ashby connected, your assistant can:

Search and read recruiting data — candidates, applications, jobs, job postings, interviews, offers, openings, projects, and sources
Move candidates through your pipeline — create candidates and applications, change stages, add notes and tags
Work with interviews — list interview plans, stages, and schedules, and create or update schedules
Manage offers — create, update, approve, and progress offers
Administer your workspace — create or update jobs and job postings, manage custom fields, manage hiring teams, cancel sequences, push candidates to your HRIS, and anonymize candidates

Good to know

Recruiting data is sensitive — use approval-required tool settings in routines that change candidate or offer data.
Some write tools are destructive or reach external systems (anonymizing candidates, pushing to your HRIS) — keep those approval-required.
Your assistant sees only what your Ashby role can see.
