TalentHive vs Ashby
Ashby is an applicant tracking system distinguished by deep recruiting analytics and funnel reporting. TalentHive shares the analytics-first stance but changes the input data: because every qualified applicant is AI-interviewed and scored on the same rubric, funnel metrics rest on structured interview evidence rather than résumé triage.

Feature comparison
| Capability | TalentHive | Ashby |
|---|---|---|
| First-round interviews | Every qualified applicant receives an autonomous AI voice interview, typically 15–25 minutes, run 24/7 with no recruiter present. | Human-run interviews with strong scheduling and analytics tooling layered on top. |
| Candidate coverage | 100% of qualified applicants are interviewed — coverage does not degrade as application volume rises. | Coverage is bounded by recruiter hours; high-volume roles in Ashby are typically triaged by résumé review. |
| Scoring model | Deterministic rubric scoring at temperature 0 — the same transcript always produces the same score, with a full transcript and rationale attached. | Human scorecards and interview kits; consistency depends on interviewer discipline and calibration. |
| Time to a ranked shortlist | Hours — interviews run overnight and the shortlist is ranked by morning. | Days to weeks, gated by scheduling and interviewer availability. |
| White-label / multi-tenant | Full white-label: careers page, apply flow, emails and the voice interview intro carry your brand and domain. | Branded careers pages with configurable theming. |
| Bias and compliance posture | Identical structured questions for every applicant, bias-audited scores, EEOC and GDPR reporting built in. | Structured-hiring tooling and EEO/OFCCP reporting available. |
| Pricing model | Flat plan pricing by number of open roles. AI voice interviews are unlimited on every plan — screening more applicants never costs more. | Typically seat- or employee-count-based subscription pricing. |

Common questions about TalentHive and Ashby
What analytics does TalentHive provide?
Funnel conversion by stage, score distributions across the applicant pool, time-in-stage, and per-role interview outcomes — all derived from structured AI interview scores rather than self-reported recruiter notes.
Are AI interview scores auditable?
Yes. Every score carries the full transcript, the rubric it was scored against, and per-competency rationale. Scoring runs deterministically, so re-scoring the same transcript reproduces the same result — a requirement for bias audits.
