Pickr vs Ashby · In-house ATS
Pickr vs Ashby
Ashby is a genuinely strong ATS for in-house talent teams hiring for one company, with deep analytics and structured interviews. It is designed around a single employer, so clients, mandates, and placements are not part of the data model, and client collaboration on candidates happens outside the system. Pickr makes those agency basics first-class and runs AI around them. Pickr also publishes its price — from €199 per recruiter seat with interviewer, hiring-manager, and client seats free — and hosts candidate data in Switzerland.

Why agencies pick Pickr
Stop rebuilding agency basics with tags and custom fields.
Clients, mandates, submittals, and placements are first-class objects in Pickr. On an in-house ATS your team recreates them by hand, and that work grows with every new mandate.
Stop doing work the AI should do.
Pickr scores candidates against requirements, drafts follow-ups, analyzes interviews against scorecards, and chases feedback automatically, all inside the pipeline your recruiters already work in.
Stop forwarding CVs over email.
Your clients review candidates, vote, and give feedback in their own portal, free and unlimited. No more attachment ping-pong or “did you see my last email?”
