Company mission
To redefine the applicant tracking system (ATS) category, providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation.
Role
Who you are
- As a company, we value a strong sense of ownership, principled thinking over experience, and thoughtful communication
- These and other values we’ll discuss in more detail during the interview process inform how we do the work
- You have experience with and are excited to learn the ins and outs of a complex and rapidly evolving product
- You have offered B2B support to customers, ranging from Small Business through Enterprise organizations
- You have experience working toward common goals with cross-functional stakeholders (such as Sales, Product, Engineering, or Operations)
- You’re curious—both in addressing customers and creating solutions that improve our workflows. You seek the answers beyond what’s on the surface
- You have strong problem-solving skills. You’re skilled at both defining the scope of a problem and creating a comprehensive solution
- You delight customers. You possess keen attention to detail, ensure your responses are thorough and clear, and are empathetic along the way
- You are eager to take ownership. When given a problem, you proactively make decisions rooted in principled thinking to solve it
What the job involves
- In this role, you will spend a lot of time working directly with customers. You’ll also spend time on projects that make the work that we do better. Past projects our team has taken on include:
- Curating customer feedback into a weekly digest distributed to the entire company
- Writing and improving help documentation
- Automating tasks to save the team time
- Our Support team is a part of our Customer Success department, and thus is a part of our Go To Market function
- Ashby is a highly complex product, and we invest a lot of time in ensuring our support team members are experts on the platform. Your first 30 days will be largely focused on learning the finer points of the products; you may not respond directly to a customer in that time but don’t worry, you’ll be plenty busy learning!
Application process
- Our interview process is thorough — we aim to ensure each person that joins the team is the right fit for Ashby and will provide ample information for you to assess if Ashby is the right fit for you. The process for this role is as follows:
- Intro Call with Recruiting - 30 Minutes
- Take Home Assessment - 1 week to complete
- Hiring Manager Interview - 30-45 Minutes
- Virtual Onsite - 90 Minutes
Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS.
