Diagnose Your Frankenstack with Ashby + TBD Collective

Stack Smarter: Diagnose Your Frankenstack

A hands-on workshop for founding recruiters hosted by TBD Collective & Ashby.

You’re invited because you’re building a recruiting function from the ground up. This means evaluating every new AI tool, managing vendors, and ensuring seamless integration — often without a dedicated operations function or adequate budget, all while handling a full requisition load. This workshop is designed for you!

What This Workshop Offers:

TBD Collective and Ashby are gathering a select group of founding recruiters from Primary Venture Partners, Human Capital, and a16z portfolio companies for a focused 90-minute session on navigating the influx of AI tools in recruitment and presenting actionable strategies.

What You Will Achieve:

• Addressing the Frankenstack Issue: Understanding its origins and implications, and realizing it’s not a matter of poor judgment — tools are rapidly sold before proper evaluation occurs.
• Stack Audit Framework: Learn to map all your tools by function, find overlap, and assess integration health. Identify what's essential infrastructure versus what merely complicates vendor management.
• Evaluating New Tools in 30 Days: A fast, repeatable assessment process for teams lacking the time for comprehensive A/B testing, allowing for defensible decisions.
• Deciding What Stays or Goes: Insights from TBD on how to determine which tools deserve a place in your operations and which should be cut.

Event Details:

• 3:00 PM: Workshop Begins
• 4:30 PM: Happy Hour & Community Networking
• Seating is limited to 20–30 attendees. No preparation is required; just bring your laptop and a tentative list of current tools in use.

This workshop is brought to you independently; no tool is sponsoring or influencing the content.
