Ashby vs Greenhouse
Both are credible. They are good at different things — here is how to tell which matches your problem.
Ashby: outstanding analytics — probably the best reporting in the category — with sourcing, scheduling and ATS in one product. Greenhouse: the reference standard for structured hiring at scale. The choice usually comes down to whether you need depth in one area or a single system covering more of the process.
Ashby in short
Outstanding analytics — probably the best reporting in the category — with sourcing, scheduling and ATS in one product. A favourite of data-literate talent teams at fast-growing companies.
Watch out for: The depth that makes it powerful takes real setup, and it is aimed at teams with a dedicated talent function to run it.
Greenhouse in short
The reference standard for structured hiring at scale. Excellent scorecards, deep integrations, strong reporting, and a well-developed methodology behind the product.
Watch out for: Priced and scoped for larger talent organisations, and it expects real implementation effort. Small teams often use a fraction of it.

Which should you pick?
Pick Ashby if you have a talent team who will use the analytics properly. Pick HireIQ if you want interview quality without a platform to administer.
Pick Greenhouse if you have a talent team with the capacity to implement and maintain it properly. Pick HireIQ if you need structure now and do not have that capacity.
A third option worth knowing about
If you are comparing these two because you want structured interviews without running a large platform, HireIQ covers interview intelligence and the pipeline in one tool at €99/month published pricing — and coaches interviewers on their technique, which neither of the above is built to do.
