First of all, this is my opinion as a hiring manager and "user" of the system. I'm not in HR so maybe there is some secret sauce there that appeals them - I still haven't discussed with them their rationale.

To answer your question: I mainly used Lever before and it was more or less OK, just like Ashby is OK. So, I'm not saying it's a bad product, it's probably a good product. I just don't see it "so much better" to justify a switch from Lever from my point of view. Both are "good enough" from an hiring manager perspective (or at least, my perspective).
