Ashby alternative that ranks your inbound pile alongside any ATS

Ashby is an all-in-one recruiting platform: an applicant tracking system, analytics, scheduling and sourcing in one product, aimed at teams that want their pipeline data and reporting under one roof. Its Foundations plan is published at $400 per month for companies up to 100 employees, and its Plus and Enterprise tiers are quote-only, with the AI notetaker and advanced scheduling sold as add-ons. People weighing Ashby alternatives are often happy with an ATS they already use and do not want to migrate their system of record, or they want the specific job of reading and ranking a large inbound pile handled well, rather than as one feature inside a broad suite.

Ashby is an all-in-one ATS, analytics and scheduling platform you adopt as your system of record. Prescreener is a screening-first layer that reads and ranks your inbound pile with transparent reasons, alongside Ashby or any ATS, without a migration.

Prescreener is screening-first and ATS-agnostic. It reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility rules, asks screening questions, scores role-fit, and ranks the pile with a transparent reason behind each placement, then flags the top matches for recruiter review. It runs alongside Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Workable or whatever you already have, so there is nothing to migrate. Pricing is published (Starter $199/mo, Growth $499/mo, Scale $1,290/mo, no free plan), results are bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144, AI use is disclosed, and because Prescreener ranks and flags rather than auto-rejecting, a recruiter always makes the final decision.
