Patricia works your Ashby.
Ask her in Slack. She moves candidates through the pipeline and keeps hiring current, so recruiting stops eating the week you owe your clients.
@Pati where does our hiring stand this week?
Three candidates are waiting on us across the open roles:
- Senior Designer: 4 candidates cleared the screen and are sitting in Review with no next step booked
- Paid Media Lead: Elena's onsite feedback has been in 3 days, still in the Interview stage
- Content Strategist: 2 new applicants from Monday, neither has been looked at yet
Book the 4 designers with Maya for first-rounds, and add a note on Elena that we're leaning yes.
Done. All 4 designers have first-rounds requested with Maya from the interviewer pool, and I left the note on Elena's profile. I did not move her stage or start an offer, that is yours to approve when you're ready.
Patricia + Ashby
What she does in Ashby.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Add candidates from Slack
Drop a name, a resume, or a referral in a thread and she creates the candidate in Ashby with their details, then files the application against the right role.
Keep the pipeline moving
She surfaces candidates stalled in a stage, requests the next interview from the right interviewer pool, and books it, so nobody goes cold waiting on us.
Advance only on your say-so
Moving a candidate to the next stage, rejecting one, or changing an application's source waits for your explicit approval. She lines up the action; you make the call.
Draft the hiring updates
She writes the weekly hiring summary and adds candidate notes from interview feedback, so the loop stays informed without a status meeting.
Collect feedback and surveys
She sends survey requests to candidates and nudges interviewers whose feedback forms are still open, so decisions are not held up by a missing scorecard.
Offers wait for approval
She can draft an offer and line up the approval steps, but creating or approving one, and anything sent to a candidate, only happens once you sign off in Slack.

FAQ
Ashby questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do in Ashby?
She works with candidates, applications, candidate notes and tags, interviewer pools, survey requests, offers, and openings. In practice: she adds candidates, requests and schedules interviews, drafts updates, and keeps the pipeline moving, while stage changes and offers wait for you.
Does she act without asking?
She reads freely and does the safe work on her own: adding candidates, requesting interviews, writing notes, chasing feedback. Advancing or rejecting a candidate, and creating or approving an offer, always wait for your explicit approval in Slack.
Which Ashby plan do we need?
Any plan works. She connects through Ashby's official OAuth flow, the same way other approved apps do, and only sees the data you connect.
We recruit for ourselves and place people for clients. Does that stay separate?
Yes, that is the setup she expects at an agency. Connect only the Ashby data you want her in, and every role, whether it is your own hire or a client's, stays walled off from the rest.
What does the Ashby integration cost?
Nothing extra. Every integration is included, on every plan.
