What it does
Ashby and Kinnect, on one position
- Ashby owns the candidatesCandidates, interviews, scorecards and offers live in Ashby, and recruiters work there as they do today. Kinnect connects to your ATS to push requisitions from approved positions and receive candidate and hire events back; Ashby is supported through the same ATS integration framework.
- Kinnect owns the position behind the openingA hiring manager clicks Start Recruiting on an Open position in the Hiring Tracker. That creates the requisition, which progresses Open, Recruiting, Offer accepted, Pushed to ATS.
- The hire closes the loopWhen the candidate is hired in Ashby, the requisition closes and the position flips to Filled. With Workday connected, the hire flows on to Workday.

Setup
How setup works
Select the ATS in Settings > System. The Integrations hub adapts to the ATS you choose.
Open the ATS card in Settings > Integrations and enter the Ashby credentials.
Agree the requisition and event mappings with the implementation team. They are configured per customer.
Run Start Recruiting on a test position, confirm the req reaches the ATS, and confirm the hire event returns.
Greenhouse is the deep, bidirectional ATS integration and the reference for this class. The Ashby connector uses the same framework; specific field maps, sync schedules and marketplace listings are not claimed on this page.

Who uses it
One integration, three teams
Finance
Finance sees every open req tied to a budgeted position, so the hiring plan and the forecast are the same list.
HR and HRIS
HR sees the position request, its approvals and the requisition in one History, and never has to ask which openings were authorized.
Recruiting
Recruiting keeps working in Ashby and stops working ghost reqs: a req exists only after an approved position starts recruiting.
