Applications sit behind every single hire
Five years ago that number was closer to a hundred. The same job now pulls triple, and you are somewhere in the stack of them.
Ashby, 100M+ applications across 200K+ jobs
Get You Employed · 7 days free
A private dashboard, built around the work you actually want. Every morning it reads the job boards at the companies you care about and leaves you one short list, already scored against your background. You wake up and apply.
Answer five questions and your board builds itself in about a minute. The first 7 days are free, then it is $9.99 a month. Cancel any time.
A numbers game
Nobody wants to hear that their job hunt is arithmetic. The hiring data is not subtle about it though. Here is what you are actually walking into, and it is the whole reason this thing exists.
Five years ago that number was closer to a hundred. The same job now pulls triple, and you are somewhere in the stack of them.
Ashby, 100M+ applications across 200K+ jobs
Nothing about you got worse. The volume changed. Which means getting seen now leans heavily on how early and how directly you apply.
Ashby, five-year trend to 2026
The button that saves you thirty seconds is the same button everybody else found. Going in through the company's own careers portal puts you in a far smaller room.
Reported across public job-market analyses
Everybody else sits at 35%. How your application arrives changes what happens to it well before a human reads a single word of it.
Ashby recruiting benchmarks, 54M+ applications
Applying once and then waiting is the slowest thing you can do. A board that refreshes itself overnight puts you on new postings while the pile is still small.
Ashby, time to first fill
Figures come from Ashby's talent trends reports, built on more than 100 million applications logged between 2021 and 2026. The one-click comparison is drawn from public job-market analyses rather than a single primary study.
Before you start
Everything below is collected inside the app after you sign in, and none of it takes longer than a minute. It is listed here so there are no surprises once you are in.
Without these the board cannot be built
All optional, and each one sharpens the results
Why it beats a job board
A job board hands you a search bar and wishes you luck. You end up repeating the same hunt every morning and losing track of what you already saw. This does that part for you, and it remembers.
Overnight it reads the careers pages of the companies you told me to watch, pulling straight from their own job feeds instead of waiting for a listing to trickle onto a job board. Anything new lands in your bank flagged NEW.
You are not wading through alert emails, and you are not competing with everybody who found the posting a week later.
Each opening gets rated against the skills and the seniority actually written in your resume, then the list sorts itself so the best fits are sitting at the top when you open it.
Every score shows you its reasoning, so when it gets something wrong you can see exactly why and tell me to fix it.
Pin the ones you want to get to. Tick off what you have sent. Leave yourself notes after a phone screen so you are not reconstructing it three weeks later.
Nothing quietly disappears on you, and nothing gets applied to twice by accident.
Keep a separate version for each kind of role you are going after and edit them right in the browser. It grades what you have written against the way hiring software actually parses a document.
When you are happy with it, export a clean PDF that keeps its text layer intact, which is the part most exported resumes get wrong.
A real board

How it works
Nothing to install. You sign in with Google, answer a short set of questions, and watch your board get put together while you wait.
The titles you want, where you can work, the companies worth watching, anything to leave out. It takes about a minute, and you can change any of it later.
Every company you named gets looked up and wired in directly, so your board reads the employer's own careers feed rather than a job site's copy of it. Anything we cannot reach automatically still gets a card with a link straight to their careers page.
Your titles, your seniority, the words that mean a posting is not for you. Then the first sweep runs immediately, so the board has real openings in it the moment it opens.
New postings land overnight, already scored and sorted. Dead links get archived on their own. Change your companies or your titles whenever you like.
Pricing
Everything is included. There is no upgrade tier holding the useful parts hostage.
We take a card up front so your board carries on without an interruption when the trial ends. Cancel before day seven and you are charged nothing.
Your card is charged $9.99 and the board keeps running exactly as it is. You can cancel in two clicks from your account page, and canceling stops the next charge rather than starting an argument.
