As I ramp up, I'm focusing primarily on our Scheduling product, which is really exciting because it's such a core part of every company's recruiting workflow. The product is already quite powerful, but my goal is to build the fastest, most intuitive, and most delightful scheduling experience on the market -- both for hiring teams and for candidates!
My onboarding experience at Ashby...
Joining Ashby has been a great experience. The breadth and depth of high-quality documentation is unlike anything I've seen and has enabled me to get up to speed rapidly in a very self-driven way. Coupled with live sessions, an onboarding buddy, and welcoming teammates all around, my ability to contribute has grown meaningfully each day and I've felt incredibly supported every step of the way.
