Introducing Mega for Ashby
Scoring, Short listing, AI-led interviews, interview insights, and candidate engagement and a new AI hiring assistant, all running inside Ashby.
Ashby is one of the most powerful recruiting platforms built for modern hiring teams.
Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Ashby, bringing Mega’s AI hiring layer directly into Ashby workflows.
This isn’t another tool your team has to learn. It’s a new layer inside Ashby that does the work for you.
Turn your ATS into an execution engine
Ashby gives teams unmatched control, pipeline visibility, structured workflows, and powerful analytics.
Mega turns that system into something more:
A hiring engine that actively evaluates, interviews, and engages candidates, without waiting on manual effort.
No additional process. No switching tools. No extra overhead.
Just more output from the system you already trust.
What Mega adds to Ashby
Mega introduces four core capabilities directly into your Ashby workflows:
1) Scoring & Shortlisting
Start with signal, and understand it.
Mega evaluates every candidate against role-aware criteria, looking beyond keywords to assess real experience, trajectory, and fit.
But more importantly, it doesn’t just score candidates. It explains why.
For every candidate, Mega provides:
Clear breakdowns of strengths and gaps as they relate to the role
Standout signals worth paying attention to
Context on what may be missing or unclear
A structured score with justification tied to actual evidence
This gives your team more than a shortlist, it gives them confidence in it.
Strong candidates surface immediately. Weak or irrelevant applicants are filtered out early. And every decision is grounded in transparent reasoning.
No resume pile. No black box ranking. No guesswork.
Your team doesn’t start with resumes. They start with the right candidates.
2) AI-led Interviews
Real conversations, without the bottleneck.
Mega conducts structured, role-aware interviews on demand, voice or video, so candidates can interview anytime, without scheduling delays or recruiter bandwidth constraints.
This removes the biggest constraint in hiring: the first real conversation.
Instead of filtering candidates down too early based on resumes, teams can hear more candidates explain their experience in their own words, earlier in the process.
Every interview is:
Scored based on pre-defined rubric
Structured and consistent across candidates
Adaptive, with follow-up questions based on responses
Captured as decision-ready signal, not just notes
And because it’s paired with Scoring & Shortlisting, only candidates with real potential are invited, respecting both your team’s time and the candidate’s.
3) Interview Insights
Turn every interview into a decision.
Most teams leave interviews with notes. Mega turns them into decision-ready signal.
After every interview, Mega automatically generates:
A clear, structured summary
Strengths, gaps, and red flags
Evidence-backed highlights tied to what the candidate actually said
A transparent score grounded in role-specific criteria
All delivered directly into your ATS, ready for review.
This isn’t just transcription. It’s a system that helps teams evaluate consistently, compare fairly, and move faster with confidence.
No more fragmented notes.
No more inconsistent feedback.
4) Conversational AI Hiring Assistant
A teammate that runs the work, and keeps everyone aligned.
Mega isn’t just answering questions.
It’s executing the day-to-day work of hiring.
Megan acts as a conversational AI hiring partner inside your workflow, handling the constant stream of small tasks that slow teams down, while keeping candidates and stakeholders moving forward.
She:
Reaches out, follows up, and keeps candidates warm
Coordinates scheduling, reschedules, and reminders
Keeps candidate data clean, complete, and up to date
Answers hiring managers and leadership instantly—with real context
Pushes work forward without waiting on recruiters
At the same time, she becomes the point of contact for the business, answering questions like:
“What’s happening with this role?”
“Who should we move forward?”
“What’s blocking us?”
With clear, evidence-backed answers pulled from your pipeline.
Built natively into Ashby
Mega runs inside Ashby via our Chrome extension—embedding directly into the workflows your team already uses.
That means:
No new system to adopt
No duplicate data or syncing issues
No context switching
Everything happens where your team already works.
With Mega inside Ashby, hiring teams can:
Move candidates forward faster, without manual bottlenecks
Evaluate consistently across every role and interviewer
Increase signal earlier in the funnel
Reduce time spent on repetitive coordination and screening
Ashby gives you the system to run hiring at a high level. Mega ensures that system actually executes.
