Ashby

I’ve done a lot of hiring – a lot – but I ran into a career first last week. I received *multiple* pages of positive responses (50 emails per page)… to our rejection email. Given the product we’re building, it shouldn’t be a surprise that delivering an excellent candidate experience is high priority. I’ve seen a good bit on LinkedIn around negative experiences specific to automated rejection emails. It just doesn’t have to be that way. Context: We’re hiring for a Recruiting Operations Consultant position. Given the scope of responsibilities and our eagerness for the new hire to hit the ground running, we prioritized candidates with direct experience using Ashby. Anyone who didn’t have this experience received an email that: ✉️ Was sent early in the process to avoid keeping cohorts of candidates in a waiting period ✉️ Used the “Send on behalf of” feature in Ashby to have recruiting send these on my behalf  ✉️ Explained our reasoning and how that led to not securing an interview The responses were overwhelmingly positive l(forgive my dark mode screenshots). A few anonymized samples attached. I’m deeply grateful to work for a company that makes this process easier!

How long are candidates taking to respond to your offer? Our recently updated data on #OfferAcceptanceRates shows some interesting trends when analyzing by function. Over the 3-year period observed: ➡️ Time in Offer for business roles has remained relatively unchanged at a consistent ~3 days.   ➡️ Technical roles represent more variance and often take (at minimum) a day more for a candidate to respond. ➡️ Further, Time in Offer for Tech Roles follows the global directional trend, but consistently sits above the global trend at roughly 4 days instead of 3.

Pleasant surprise in our inbox Friday: Hearing that a number of enterprise operators recommended Ashby for the 2024 IVP's Enterprise AI 55 - a collection of AI startups and products sourced by operators for operators. "We built this list incorporating feedback from hundreds of meetings with founders, management teams, Board meetings, and collaboration with our Fortune 500 network. We hope this is useful reference for operators at Enterprise companies looking to successfully use generative AI for real results." - Karthik Ramakrishnan, Partner at IVP What means the most to us, though, is seeing Ashby customers being recognized for both their enterprise traction and impact in the #GenAI space.
