Something I'm proud of at Ashby...
A consistent, cohort based hiring process that enables Ashby to hire the best talent across the whole pool of candidates for any given job. This has enabled us to focus on pipeline, process elements that impact "Quality of Hire," and creates a choice scenario for hiring managers at the end of our hiring activities.
Something I've helped the team with...
A fast and efficient pipeline generation model that helps all of our hiring managers see immediate, high caliber talent pools for their roles. I wear many hats within this, focusing on where I can make the biggest impact to help Ashby grow! Rolling my sleeves up, screening resumes, sourcing candidates, and scheduling interviews gives me the deepest look into our products capabilities. I can help help leverage my deep talent experience to help any teammate, from Engineering to Customer Success, Marketing to Sales.
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
The intentionality in everything we do. It's very special.
Something I'm proud of at Ashby...
I’ve worked to improve many people and culture initiatives here at Ashby, including new employee onboarding. I want everyone who joins Ashby to have an amazing experience! It’s important that new team members feel welcome, are equipped with the right tools and knowledge base, and are immersed in the product from Day 1.
Something I've helped the team with...
I planned our in person company offsite! We all met in California and enjoyed a week of learning, collaboration, and social outings together. I’m hoping to plan another company outing next year and I’ll also be working with smaller teams to provide more opportunities for in-person connection.
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
It’s still amazing to me how much our team gets done while working pretty much entirely asynchronously!
Something I'm proud of at Ashby...
As the only dedicated resource to sourcing (for now!), I've been able to support hiring across all functions while partnering with hiring managers across the company. From setting up and implementing processes to providing product feedback and participating in community events, there's no shortage of ways to have impact.
Something I've helped the team with...
One of the great things about working at Ashby is the ability to balance day-to-day work with longer term projects that materially move the work forward. Taking this kind of proactive approach means I get to work on a project that will impact how we hire for engineering roles into the future, but that is also a fun break in the routine work.
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
How remarkably effective and balanced everyone is. I've worked in high-stress environments where it feels like there are fires everywhere, and Ashby is just the complete opposite. It's like being in a well-oiled machine without losing the innovation, creativity, and excitement of a growth stage company. Might be biased, but I think it comes down to the people.
Something I'm excited to work on at Ashby...
My goal at Ashby is to be a trusted advisor to my hiring managers, partnering to make the best hiring decisions for their teams. I've worked with hiring managers who dread the task of hiring, as well as those who get excited about building their team. My hope is that I can steward a sense of excitement and optimism around hiring among the teams I work with.
My onboarding experience at Ashby...
So far, so good! My first week was in Cancun, so it's really hard to have any constructive feedback as of yet - I may come back to this one!
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
The company's success, given the economic climate in tech! That's what got me so intrigued about the company, and excited about the role.
Something I'm excited to work on at Ashby...
I'm excited to combine my experience with learnings from the RecOps Community and combine our insights with the detailed recruiting data provided by Ashby. My goal is to develop a strong framework that helps companies excel by implementing tried and true RecOps practices. I'm eager to assist our customers in leveraging Ashby to succeed in any recruiting environment and to turn data into a valuable asset that helps their teams excel.
My onboarding experience at Ashby...
I’ve really enjoyed my onboarding experience—it’s been fantastic! The detailed documentation and the chance to meet many members of the team have made my transition smooth and welcoming. I’m feeling right at home already!
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
The most surprising thing so far has been the company's approach to communication. When I first read Ashby's Operating Principles, I thought they sounded almost too good to be true. But I've found that Ashby truly lives up to these principles. The emphasis on thoughtful communication is genuinely practiced and felt throughout the company.
