1/many Today is a very exciting day for the entire @ashbyhq team - so I’m starting it off with an usually long post :) After years of working, mostly in quiet, with our first 500+ customers, we are launching publicly today!
New, by me: a deeper dive into the latest raise by @ashbyhq and what they're getting right that pretty much every other TA Tech vendor on the market is missing right now. Check it out 👇👇👇 mattcharney.com/2025/07/23/hr-…
Congrats to the team @ashbyhq on their $50M Series D! Ashby's hiring platform helps businesses (including OpenAI and Shopify) streamline recruiting by combining applicant tracking, sourcing, scheduling, and analytics in one place. news.crunchbase.com/venture/ai-pow…

I'm excited to share that Ashby has raised a $50M Series D! In just over a year since our Series C, we've scaled from 1,300 to over 2,700 customers, grown revenue by 135% year-over-year, and maintained best-in-class efficiency (burn multiple <1x). A huge thank you to our…
Happy 2025 (to all those who run on the Gregorian calendar)! I love the last few days of the year as they provide a little bit of a slowdown that makes room for reflection and planning ahead. We just closed out Q4 and ended up hitting 140% of our already ambitious quarterly…

I'm not necessarily known for "hot takes," but at @ashbyhq , we've maintained a bit of a contrarian view when it comes to long-term product roadmaps. We think they come with a lot of downsides, so we've instead focused on high product velocity and more iterative prioritization.…
Announcing our $30M Series C! Thanks to our amazing customers, we’ve achieved 6x revenue growth since our Series B during a challenging time for many startups/talent teams. We’re excited to further accelerate product velocity & scale customer-facing teams. hubs.li/Q02zg1cn0
Very excited to announce our Series C today! At Ashby we've seen great momentum since our public launch in September 2022 (and >6x revenue growth since our Series B). I've written a longer version about the round here: ashbyhq.com/blog/culture/s…

SF is like an adrenaline injection. Absolutely no way you don’t want to build something after being here. Vibes are infectious.
Big thanks to all who made it to our #hiringexcellence meetup, where we teamed up with @productboard, Hiring On Ramp, and @ashbyhq. I can't already wait to organize the next event in the next 5 years to keep my heart rate in a healthy balance. 🤯🤣❤️📈
We've been using @ashbyhq for several weeks, and it's a delightful ATS. The sales rep won my heart with his knowledge of dev tools & unified APIs. nango.dev/jobs
