Description

I'm obsessed with this company. 

Truly. 

Not just because of what they do - but how they operate.

Meet Ashby, the all-in-one ATS with CRM, scheduling, surveys, analytics, and onboarding. 

In this episode, Jena Dunay talks with Jim Miller, VP of People and Talent, about their document-first async culture, "frustratingly patient" hiring, and randomized offsite dinners that accidentally became tradition.

What you'll learn:

• How Ashby's async remote model uses documents over meetings and communication norms for Slack, email, and Docs
• The power of "frustratingly patient" hiring focused on quality over speed
• Randomized offsite dinners and company trips that build real connections
• Jim's exact pitch strategy that got him hired at Ashby after being their customer
• Transparent job descriptions that tell candidates why NOT to apply
