How the Ashby job board integration works
Every company on Ashby has a public jobs page at an address like jobs.ashbyhq.com/yourcompany, and that page is what your careers site usually embeds or links to. Ashby publishes the same postings through a public job posting API that can be read without a key. That is the whole trick: RemoteBoard reads the same public data your jobs page does.
When you paste the board address, RemoteBoard pulls every listed posting, checks each one for remote eligibility and drops anything hybrid or office based. What is left becomes a RemoteBoard listing with your title, description, location eligibility, salary range and a link back to the original Ashby posting. From then on the board is checked on a schedule, and changes in Ashby show up on RemoteBoard within the hour.
Nothing flows the other way. RemoteBoard never writes to Ashby, never sees candidates and never touches scorecards, offers or interview plans. If you disconnect the board, the listings come down and your Ashby account is exactly as it was.
Why recruiters connect Ashby instead of posting by hand
Most remote job boards were built around a form. You copy the job description, pick a category, pay for 30 days and repeat when the period ends. That works for one role. It breaks down for a talent team running ten openings across engineering, sales and support.
The usual failure is not the first post. It is everything after it. A role closes in Ashby on Tuesday, but the listing on the board keeps running until it expires, and candidates keep applying to a job you filled. A new role opens on Thursday, and nobody posts it until the following week because the person who owns the board account is out. Each board has its own login, its own renewal date and its own idea of how to format a salary.
The Ashby integration removes the copy step. Your board in Ashby is the list of record. RemoteBoard follows it, which means:
- a role you publish in Ashby is on RemoteBoard within the hour,
- a role you unlist disappears at the next sync,
- an edited description, title or pay range is picked up automatically,
- nobody on the team needs a RemoteBoard login just to keep listings current.
What gets synced from Ashby
RemoteBoard reads the fields Ashby publishes on the public board:
| Ashby field | How RemoteBoard uses it |
|---|---|
| Job title | Listing title, cleaned of internal codes |
| Description | Full description on the listing page |
| Location, secondary locations and address country | Eligible countries and UTC overlap |
| Remote flag and workplace type | Remote check, so hybrid and onsite roles are skipped |
| Compensation summary | Salary range shown on the listing and used by the salary filter |
| Employment type | Full time, part time or contract label |
| Published date | Posted date shown to candidates |
| Apply link | Destination of the Apply button |
Two things make Ashby a clean fit. First, the remote flag and workplace type are explicit fields, so the remote check rarely has to guess. Second, compensation is structured, so a posted range arrives as numbers rather than text buried in a paragraph. If a remote role is missing from your preview, the cause is almost always that the posting is not listed publicly in Ashby, or that its location says only a city and the workplace type is not set to remote.
Applications stay in your Ashby pipeline
This is the part talent teams ask about first. The Apply button on a synced listing sends the candidate to your own Ashby posting. They answer your application questions, upload a resume on your form and land in your pipeline at the stage you already use for inbound applicants. Your custom questions, self-identification forms and screening questions all work as they do today, because the application never leaves Ashby.
Because the application happens in Ashby, there is no inbox to watch on RemoteBoard and no resumes to forward. If you track sources, RemoteBoard traffic shows up in your analytics as referrals from remoteboard.com, and every RemoteBoard plan shows views and apply clicks per role.
Ashby's own job board integrations and where RemoteBoard fits
Ashby can send postings to job boards through its integrations, and the right set depends on your plan. Those general boards are useful for volume, but candidates searching for fully remote work spend their time on remote-only boards.
Remote-only boards usually charge per post. Remote OK, We Work Remotely and Remotive all start at about $299 per 30-day listing, and none of them follow your Ashby jobs page automatically, so each post is another manual step and another renewal date.
RemoteBoard sits next to Ashby's built-in boards rather than replacing them. Keep whatever general boards you already use, and connect RemoteBoard for the remote-only audience. If you are weighing it against the per-post boards, the We Work Remotely alternative and Remote OK alternative pages compare costs line by line.
Salary transparency is a reason to sync
More US states require pay ranges in job postings, and candidates on remote boards filter by salary before they read anything else. When you already publish compensation in Ashby, the sync means that range is on every RemoteBoard listing without someone retyping it. Mistakes are the real risk with manual posting: a range updated in Ashby but not on the board puts two different numbers in front of candidates. With a sync, there is one number, and it is the one in your ATS.
What it costs compared with posting per role
The sync is included in every plan, so the only question is how many remote roles you keep open at once.
| Open remote roles at once | RemoteBoard plan, billed yearly | Yearly cost | Per-post boards at $299 for 12 roles a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 | Starter, $49 a month | $588 | $3,588 |
| Up to 10 | Growth, $149 a month | $1,788 | $3,588 and up |
| Up to 30 | Scale, $349 a month | $4,188 | $3,588 and up, plus renewals |
The per-post column assumes each of 12 roles runs a single 30-day period at $299. Roles that take longer than a month to fill renew at the full price, which is where per-post costs climb fastest. Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699 if you would rather not commit for a year. Full details are on the pricing page.
If you connect a board with more remote roles than your plan covers, the sync lists roles up to your limit and picks up the rest as soon as a slot frees up or you move to a larger plan.
Who the Ashby integration is for
It fits best for US startups and scale-ups that hire remotely all year and already run recruiting in Ashby:
- Heads of talent and recruiting leads who want remote reach without owning another posting workflow.
- Recruiting coordinators who are tired of copying descriptions into board forms and chasing renewals.
- Founders at 20 to 300 person companies who post a handful of remote roles a quarter and want one predictable bill.
- Agencies and RPO teams running Ashby for a client, where the client's board is the source of truth.
If you hire one remote person a year, a single per-post listing may still be cheaper. If you hire remotely every month, a flat plan that follows Ashby is usually far less work and far less money.
Setting it up in five minutes
- Open your Ashby jobs page and copy its address. It looks like jobs.ashbyhq.com/yourcompany.
- Paste it into the preview on post a remote job. You will see your remote roles as RemoteBoard listings before you pay.
- Create an employer account with your work email and pick a plan.
- Your roles go live within the hour. Mark up to 3 or 10 of them as featured on Growth or Scale.
If your board is already listed on RemoteBoard from public data, connecting it from an account on your company's email domain moves the existing listings under your account, so nothing is duplicated. On a Greenhouse or Lever stack instead, see the Greenhouse job board integration or the Lever job board integration.
