Join us for the latest feature launches and what's coming up for our all-in-one recruiting platform. We'll share a dedicated segment on the next generation of AI in Ashby, plus a first look at where Ashby is headed next.

This staple Ashby One session brings together talent and data leaders from Moss, DeepL, and Ashby for a dialogue on the latest shifts in hiring. Grounded in insights pulled from millions of proprietary data points, the conversation will blend quantitative trends with on-the-ground perspective to help teams make sense of what the data is really signaling.

Talent density is the new north star for high functioning teams. After strong engagement at Ashby One San Francisco, the conversation continues with a deeper look at how leading teams are approaching it in practice. In this fireside chat, Tim Chattaway, Director of Talent Acquisition at Sony’s Sports Technology, will share how his team is defining and tracking hiring quality across multiple businesses within Sony’s sports portfolio. Through a structured conversation grounded in real operating experience, Tim will discuss the signals his team tracks over time and how those insights shape hiring decisions and business outcomes.

In this special session, Shannon Ogborn from Ashby and Jackie Bycynthe from Tides will share the first module of Ashby's Recruiting Operations Certification, a new on-demand course launching at Ashby One. Perfect for TA professionals looking to move into Recruiting Operations or those early in their RecOps career, this session will explore the scope of the function, how it has evolved, and the foundational skills needed to succeed.

Lightning Talks are our way of keeping the day dynamic. In just 10 minutes each, Talent Leaders from Accurx, Attio, Dust, and Lovable will walk through specific programs and strategies they’ve implemented, offering a collection of tangible ideas to bring back to your team Monday.

The best Talent functions embrace a little friction. In his Lightning Talk, Iraj Samuel will share how he used data to challenge assumptions, strengthen stakeholder relationships, and help Talent play a more strategic role at Accurx. Using market benchmarks and hiring performance data, you'll learn practical ways to build credibility, guide better conversations, and create the kind of healthy pushback that leads to stronger hiring outcomes.

When Reece Batchelor became Dust's first talent hire, he set out to build a lean, AI-enabled talent team. What he learned challenged his assumptions about recruiter capacity, team design, and the future of hiring. In this Lightning Talk, Reece will share the skills, behaviours, and roles he believes modern talent teams need to succeed, from AI fluency and network-building to knowing when it's time to hire your first Talent Engineer. Established teams will leave with ideas. Scaling teams will leave with a plan.

Many hiring teams operate as though speed and quality exist in opposition. Move faster and quality suffers. Raise the bar and hiring slows down. Lovable’s team believes you can have both. In his Lightning Talk, Tim Duong will explore how thoughtful process design and automation can remove administrative friction, creating more space for the work that actually drives outcomes: candidate relationships, personalised experiences, and better hiring decisions.

Hiring teams have access to more information than ever before. Which signals are actually worth paying attention to? In this Lightning Talk, Don Fogarty will explore how talent intelligence can help teams recognise great candidates sooner and spend less time chasing the wrong signals. Drawing on his work at Attio, he'll share how hiring organisations can turn the knowledge that lives in recruiters' heads into a shared advantage, helping teams make more informed decisions before a candidate ever enters the interview process.

Lightning Talks are our way of keeping the day dynamic. In just 10 minutes each, RecOps practitioners from Camunda, Monday.com, and Talent Nova will walk through specific programs and workflows they’ve implemented, offering a collection of tangible ideas to bring back to your desk Monday.

When Time to Hire starts climbing, TA is often the first place people look. What happens when the real bottleneck lives somewhere else? In this Lightning Talk, Abby Weinreich will share how her team at Camunda used scheduling and hiring data to uncover the real causes of hiring delays. What started as a question about recruiting efficiency revealed patterns ranging from interview design and scorecard completion to stakeholder alignment and decision-making. Abby will walk through the patterns and metrics that helped her team move beyond assumptions to drive meaningful improvements across the hiring process.

Rapid growth creates an interesting tension: the same teams that need more structure are often the most resistant to it. This Lightning Talk is for every Ops professional who designed a beautiful process that never got adopted. Drawing on her experience leading Talent Operations through periods of rapid growth, Shiran Duchovny will explore why change management, stakeholder alignment, and relationship-building matter just as much as process design. You'll leave with practical ideas for turning sceptics into supporters.

Behind every RecOps request is a person at a different stage of adoption. Some need a nudge. Some need guardrails. Some just built something in AI that already exists in your ATS. In her Lightning Talk, Meena Rudmann shares the stakeholder personas she's encountered leading People Systems and Analytics at SoSafe, and the enablement approaches that actually move people forward. You'll leave with a sharper eye for who's at your door, what they really need, and how to turn even your most enthusiastic AI experimenter into a genuine systems partner.

This panel brings together Enterprise Talent Leaders for an of-the-moment conversation about what’s working and what we’re up against in hiring today. We’ll be staying on the pulse of the shifting challenges emerging for talent teams and ensure the conversation reflects the reality of our industry come September 9.

Whether you're using AI every day or just beginning to explore what's possible, you'll have the opportunity to experiment with Ashby's AI functionality, test ideas, and build practical solutions for day-to-day recruiting workflows. Designed as a supportive, low-pressure environment, this session is all about learning, sharing, and building alongside fellow RecOps practitioners. Bring your laptop and build alongside the Ashby team.

AI is evolving quickly. And regulation is keeping pace. Ashby’s Legal Counsel joins talent leaders from Tourlane and hyperexponential for a candid discussion on the AI regulatory environment and what it means for talent teams. As the EU AI Act creates more questions than answers, this panel will explore risk levels, how the law assigns responsibility to companies that use AI tools, and case law implications. Expect practical perspectives on new technologies and responsible AI practices.
