Ashby

Executive hiring is one of the highest stakes decisions a company makes, and most processes aren't designed with that weight in mind. Cristina Navarro, Senior Director of Global Talent Acquisition at Tubi, built a leadership assessment that treats it differently, one that gives candidates a realistic preview of the environment they'd be stepping into and gives hiring teams the confidence to make a decision before anyone leaves the room. Inside the Episode: 🎯 What traditional interview formats miss when evaluating senior leaders and how Tubi designed around that 📋 Why prepping both sides of the table is as important as the assessment itself 🔍 How structuring the debrief as a collective conversation leads to a hiring decision before anyone leaves the room Watch, listen, or read the full breakdown ⬇️

Another great day in London yesterday. We spent the day at IHR - In-house Recruitment Leaders, connecting with talent leaders and sharing ideas on what’s next for hiring. Jim Miller took to the stage to share Ashby’s Hiring Excellence Framework, exploring how hiring teams can build the systems, processes, and operating models that scale as their businesses grow. We then rounded off the day with our rooftop mixer at Eight Members Club. Great conversations, great food, drinks, and a sunny London evening overlooking the city. Thanks to everyone who joined us across both events. It’s always a pleasure bringing the talent community together. 💜

Yesterday we had the privilege of sponsoring the House of Visionaries Community event at LinkedIn HQ in London, bringing together talent leaders to explore Talent Engineering. A huge thank you to the House of Visionaries Community team and UK Board, Jamie Edwards, Caitriona Staunton , Matthew Doucette, Lucy Szypula, and Alan for creating a space where ideas are challenged, experiences are shared, and the conversations continue after the session. Ashby’s own Jim Miller and Kushal Gupta and our wonderful customer Caitriona Staunton kicked off the afternoon, exploring The Art of the Possible and what it takes to design a hiring function that scales with AI, not around it. It was also great to learn from Lucy Szypula and Matthew Doucette, who shared practical examples of how AI is reshaping the way teams operate, make decisions, and create better outcomes. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation, shared ideas, and made the afternoon what it was. We’re excited to keep building alongside communities like House of Visionaries Community that are pushing the future of hiring forward.
