Hirex: a strong Ashby alternative for teams that want to move fast
Hirex is a flexible and affordable all-in-one recruiting platform.
Ashby is a powerful, highly configurable recruiting platform for high-growth teams that run structured hiring, usually with at least one full-time recruiter and a six to eight week setup. That depth is a real strength, but it is more than many teams need. Hirex gives you AI screening, native sourcing and a customizable career site with a much faster path to going live.
Quick verdict
Choose Hirex if you want AI CV scoring, video interview scoring and native sourcing included by default, a fully customizable multilingual career site, and to be live in days rather than weeks.
Choose Ashby if you are a high-growth team with a dedicated recruiting function that wants deep, highly configurable workflows and advanced analytics, and you can invest in a longer setup.
Where Hirex pulls further ahead
Hirex reads every CV against your job criteria and returns a fit score with a clear breakdown, where Ashby checks resumes against criteria but returns a pass or fail rather than a graded score. Hirex also scores recorded video interview answers automatically, which Ashby's notetaker does not do. And setup is measured in days, not the six to eight weeks Ashby typically guides growth teams through.
Where Ashby still makes sense
Ashby is excellent for high-growth teams that want deeply configurable pipelines, a built-in CRM for structured outbound, and best-in-class analytics, and that have the recruiting resources to set it up and maintain it. If that depth is your priority and a longer implementation is acceptable, Ashby is a strong choice.
Pricing and total cost
Ashby uses custom pricing that scales with team size and modules and is generally positioned at the premium end for growth and enterprise teams. Hirex keeps pricing flat and transparent with unlimited users and AI features included by default. Public pricing changes often, so confirm current figures with each vendor before deciding.
