Virginia TiradoFounder & CEO

Ashby One last Thursday in San Francisco was a refreshing change from spending days inside conference halls in Vegas. The venue itself, a converted warehouse-style space with auditoriums, breakout rooms, open courtyards, and a really thoughtful mix of indoor/outdoor experiences, gave the event an energy that felt more like a festival than a traditional HR tech conference. And honestly, that vibe matched the community Ashby is building. What stood out most to me wasn’t just the product announcements or roadmap updates. It was seeing founders and leadership walking the floors, talking directly with customers, listening to feedback, and engaging in real conversations about where hiring and people operations are headed... Kudos to Ashby for building such an incredible community and creating an event experience that actually felt human, connected, and energizing.

Nicole BejaranoTalent Partner Team Lead

Still riding the high from #AshbyOne SF yesterday 🙌 600+ TA and RecOps professionals in one room; the energy was unreal. If you were there, you know... Beyond the launches, the conversations around Quality of Hire, headcount planning, and talent density were exactly what the industry needs to be talking about right now. Grateful to have been in the room for it.

Mike JoynerFounding Partner

The first-ever Ashby conference yesterday was amazing - the venue, the product releases (the hits just kept coming), the people, the content... congrats to the entire team for an incredible gathering! It was so fun bumping into friends in the community, meeting new ones, and spending time with our GBD team Adam, Jill, and Jessie. Let's do it again next year.

Aisha GutierrezSenior Recruiter

Had a blast at the Ashby One conference yesterday! This was exactly the kind of energy I needed right now.✨ Being in a room full of Talent professionals is its own kind of fuel, and I left with a head full of ideas I’m already putting into action... Already looking forward to the next one! #ashbyone

Lauren AndrewsTalent Acquisition

That's a wrap! 👏✨ Beyond all of the incredible insights shared throughout the conference, one thing is clear: Ashby knows how to create an experience that sticks with you long after it's over. So grateful for the conversations, ideas, and connections made yesterday.

Casey FireyGlobal Talent Operations and Strategy

Ashby ONE was such a blast. Huge thanks to the Ashby team for putting together a day that made me think “Gosh, I wish so-and-so could see this” at least a dozen times. So grateful for the chance to be in the room for it all.

Omar SahlahTechnical Recruiter

I want to give a huge shoutout to Ashby for putting on such a great and genuinely informative conference. I’m sure most people who attended left just as filled with ideas and perspective as I did. It was great meeting so many people in Talent, Recruiting, Operations, and Engineering leadership. One of the biggest things I took away was reassurance. A lot of the conversations I had around scaling, recruiting infrastructure, hiring quality, AI enablement, and operational efficiency aligned heavily with the direction I’m already thinking about internally at Xona... And honestly, thank you to everyone else who took the time to connect, chat, share insight, and bring great energy throughout the event. Conferences are always better when the people attending are willing to openly exchange ideas and experiences.

Tony LeGlobal Talent Leader

Insightful thoughts on #HeadcountPlanning from Jim Miller and Siobhan Palermo at#AshbyOne … plan headcount based on ARR triggers as opposed to planning over time. It's a best in class, all-in-one recruiting tool meaning the team don't have to context switch in and out of a bunch of solutions - meaning they can be more efficient and focus on being Talent Partners to the business! Great session. Thank you Ashby.

Mariana MillerRecruiting & People Ops

Yesterday at Ashby One was incredible! I’m leaving inspired, energized, and full of fresh ideas thanks to the brilliant speakers and insightful conversations with the TA and RecOps community. Huge shoutout to the Ashby team for pulling off an impressive first conference! You nailed the details, brought the energy, and created a space for meaningful connection.

Irina N.Global People Operations Leader

As someone in People Ops, it was energizing to see how data and systems like Ashby are helping teams elevate the end-to-end hiring experience - from recruiter productivity to candidate experience and offer acceptance. Big thanks to the Ashby team for this awesome experience, can't wait for the next One!

Lucy BellHead of People

A big congrats to Benjamin Encz and the entire Ashby team for pulling off another phonomenal AshbyONE conference yesterday. I did my part to support by donning my Ashby socks and purple jumpsuit.💜 Inspired to build + get off of the waitlist for all these upcoming products at Ashby.

Chiara Celesia MooreHead of Global Talent Operations and Strategy

My face anytime someone says, “Hey can you chat about Ashby?” 🤓 So many mic drop releases at the Ashby One conference yesterday, and had a blast talking about candidate fraud prevention in the keynote video!

Jacob KerrTalent Consultant

I never thought I’d be at a conference for an ATS — but @ashbyhq really is beloved by recruiters 🫶

Michaela BurpoeTalent

I’ve never left a conference feeling this energized. #AshbyOne2026 wasn’t just feature announcements. It was packed with sessions, conversations, and even a build-a-thon centered around what AI-native recruiting workflows can actually look like when built thoughtfully. What stood out most was the openness of the people there. Recruiters and talent leaders were openly sharing best practices, challenges, wins, and even AI prompts. That kind of collaboration is rare, and it made the event feel that much more fun. Coming from an open source founded company, it also made my heart so happy... Huge credit to the Ashby team for creating a space that felt thoughtful, collaborative, and future-focused. Now… time to bring the ideas back to Supabase and keep building 🤓

Heather DoshayFounder

My first Ashby One was 12/10. I’ve never felt more clearheaded or energized about where recruiting is headed as AI evolves the future of work. They announced no less than 17 exciting new product developments that made me wish I was a recruiter again, and every session that followed showed exactly how they augment the teams using them. If you've ever experienced an Ashby event, you know there’s always magic in the air, they don't miss a single detail. But the real secret to the magic is the community they've built. I'm so honored to be a part of it.

See you again in 2027 Ashby! I intend to be the 1st Ashby One registrant again 🥇 Great product- and feature conversations w/ Benjamin Encz, Abhik Pramanik and Christian Novicki! Willem Wijnans stole the show with the Ai agent Build-a-thon! Thank you for great insights and connections, Ashby One!

Andrea OlsonTalent Acquisition Consultant

I had the pleasure of attending#AshbyOne last week, and I’m still thinking about the impactful conversations on how we elevate our function to be more strategic, data-driven, and human-centered. Major kudos to Ashby for pulling it all together!

Anisha ThomasHead of People

Still riding the high from an incredible experience at the inaugural Ashby Conference! Huge thanks to the Ashby team for the warm welcome, thoughtful touches, and for pulling off such a fantastic event.

Felicia WijenbergLead Recruiter

Spent yesterday in SF at AshbyOne and left more stoked on the product than I came in (which I didn’t think was possible!!) 💜 The sessions were incredibly insightful, but more than anything, it cemented why Ashby‘s growth across startups, mid-market, and enterprise is pretty unmatched right now 🚀. It’s rare to see a team building with this much clarity, speed, and customer obsession 🤝🏼 while also being such a fun and passionate group of humans 🎤😉 (iykyk). Excited to see what’s next from the team building what, in my opinion, is the best talent system in the business. Thank you Ashby!

Dani SchlarmannRecruiting

Bravo Ashby. AshbyOne was a masterclass on how to throw an event aimed at the enablement of users. It was meticulously planned and clearly a labor of love for the whole org. My team had a wonderful time meeting other customers and listening to a carefully curated group of speakers that had a myriad of unique problems and solutions they were able to use Ashby for. Thank you to Benjamin Encz, Abhik Pramanik, Willem Wijnans, Micah Konzen, Corrina Stempky, Max Rodewald, Devon Parikh, and so many more I can't remember right at this moment. Your team is clearly a cut above.

Leah KnoblerVP of People

Ashby One, year two -- still the best run conference I've been to. Great content, smart people, and somehow they pulled off the rare trick of making a vendor event feel like something you'd actually choose to fly across the country for! Huge kudos to all the folks behind the scenes who pulled that off. That takes a ton of work and I hope you all feel seen 👏🏼

Tim ChattawayDirector of Talent Acquisition

I spoke at Ashby One in San Francisco yesterday. First ever speaking engagement. Somehow survived... To everyone at Ashby and everyone I managed to speak with on the day, thank you. The whole room was warm, engaged, and made a first-time speaker feel like they'd done something right. That genuinely meant a lot.

Margarita SandomirskayaFounding Recruiter

Huge kudos to Ashby's team for Ashby One 2026 in San Francisco! Like every other TA person, I already love the product but I have to say, I admire the people behind it even more. It's rare to see a team combine such great product taste with such real care for their customers and community 💜

Alexi RaymondSenior Manager, Talent Acquisition

Just wrapped up Ashby One and wow; what an incredible experience! 🙌 I loved connecting with other TA professionals and RecOps leaders to share ideas, learn best practices, and talk through the real challenges (and wins!) we're all navigating.

Brandon JeffsRecruiter

Dang what a week for the recruiting world! Apparently everyone coming out of Ashby One is buzzing about how good the content was.
