Ashby Integration

Supercharge your hiring workflow by integrating AltHire AI directly with Ashby. As an official Assessment Partner, AltHire allows your team to launch AI-powered interviews and automated screening calls without ever leaving the Ashby platform.

This quick-start guide covers everything you need to know to get up and running:

• Seamless Connection: Step-by-step instructions for syncing your accounts via API.
• Smart Configuration: How to embed AI assessments directly into your existing interview plans.
• Actionable Insights: A breakdown of our automated final reports and how to access them within candidate profiles.

1. Obtain an AltHire Account

To get started, email [email protected] with the following details:

• Your company name
•  Your Ashby account information

The AltHire team will:

• Create an AltHire AI for your organization
• Generate an AltHire API Key (you'll use this as a Basic Auth credential in Ashby)

This is a one-time setup process with a typical turnaround of 24 hours.

2. Connect AltHire AI in Your Ashby Account

Once you have your AltHire API Key, follow these steps to connect:

1. Log in to your Ashby account.
2. Go to Admin → Integrations.
3. Find AltHire AI in the assessment partners list.
4. Click Connect or Configure.
5. Create a new Ashby API Key for AltHire.
6. • Name it something like “AltHire AI API Key.”
6. Copy this Ashby API Key and send it to [email protected].
7. Enter the AltHire API Key (the one you received from AltHire) into the integration configuration modal.
8. Click Save to activate the connection.

Important:
Two API keys are exchanged during setup:

• One from Ashby (for AltHire to access your Ashby data)
• One from AltHire (for Ashby to authenticate assessment requests)

Both are required for the integration to work.
