Because Pyn connects to Ashby, the journey can start the moment an offer is signed — long before day one, while the excitement is still fresh. From there every message is personalized by role, team, and location, delivered where people already work — and nothing slips.

The payoff is better-supported managers at no extra headcount. Timely nudges for 1:1s, career conversations, reviews, and leave transitions mean nothing slips, and the team sets it up once and trusts it to run.

Start the journey before day one.

The stretch between offer accepted and first day is where momentum gets lost. For a lot of companies it’s just silence — no welcome, no manager prep, no signal that anyone’s ready for the new hire. So new joiners sit with their excitement and their second-guessing, and hear nothing.

Pyn fills that stretch. The moment Ashby marks a candidate as hired, Pyn kicks off their pre-boarding journey. No manual handoff, no waiting for the HRIS to catch up.

Why connect Pyn and Ashby?

Act at the moment of hire. When Ashby moves a candidate to hired, Pyn catches it and starts pre-boarding on its own. A welcome note, a manager nudge, an IT checklist — all set in motion before anyone has to remember to do it.

Make new hires feel expected, not forgotten. How someone feels in the days between saying yes and showing up colors how they feel about the whole job. Pyn draws on the data from Ashby to send messages that read like a person wrote them — by name, for their role, from their manager.

Give managers a head start. Pyn can send prep reminders and conversation starters to hiring managers as soon as the hire is confirmed in Ashby. By the time the new hire arrives, their manager already knows what to do with the first week.

Close out the loose ends. Outstanding interview feedback has a way of slipping. Pyn can nudge interviewers for the notes and scorecards still sitting open in Ashby, so the record is complete before the handoff.

Build the full picture with your HRIS. Ashby gives Pyn the early signal: who’s joining, when, and in what role. Once your HRIS holds the full employee record, Pyn carries the journey on through onboarding and beyond. Together they cover the entire employee lifecycle from offer to offboarding.
