Ashby: Stronger analytics and scheduling for a structured hiring team, with published capability depth
Comeet
Structured collaborative hiring where every stage is assigned to a named person, now part of Spark Hire
As of 31 August 2026, Comeet's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. An ATS that makes the hiring process itself the product: each step has an owner, a deadline and a defined action, so nothing waits in a queue nobody owns. Softwr lists it under Recruitment. Comeet is made by Comeet, part of Spark Hire, available on Web.
Overview
What Comeet does
Comeet is an applicant tracking system founded in Israel in 2013, built around what it calls elastic recruiting. Rather than a pipeline where candidates move between stages that anyone can action, every step in a Comeet process is assigned to a specific person with a defined task, and the system chases that person until it is done. Around that sit sourcing tools, a careers site, scheduling, scorecards, offer management and reporting. The assignment model is the distinguishing decision and it cuts both ways commercially. In organisations where hiring stalls because a manager has not reviewed a shortlist for a week, the accountability is transformative and time to hire drops measurably. In organisations that hire opportunistically, or where the same three people do everything, the structure feels like overhead and recruiters work around it. The product does not really support being used loosely, so the fit question is about hiring culture rather than features. Spark Hire acquired Comeet in 2023, adding it to a portfolio that includes video interviewing and assessment products. Buyers are technology and services companies of roughly 100 to 1,500 employees, historically weighted towards Israel and the United States. The trade-off now includes portfolio risk: an independent ATS inside a vendor whose other products it is expected to bundle with, and buyers should ask directly about standalone roadmap commitments and about how support hours cover their timezone.
What people use it for
- A company where hiring consistently stalls on manager review and nobody can say whose turn it is
- A technology firm running structured interview loops with several interviewers per candidate
- An organisation that wants to measure which stage and which person creates the bottleneck
- A team that already uses Spark Hire video interviewing and wants it inside the hiring process
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Comeet.
- The assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.
- Pricing is quoted rather than published and scales with company size and hiring volume, so it cannot be compared against per seat or per job slot competitors without going through a sales cycle.
- Sourcing and candidate relationship management are thinner than dedicated tools, so passive outreach still happens in LinkedIn and is recorded after the fact.
- The 2023 acquisition by Spark Hire places an independent ATS inside a portfolio company, and buyers should ask for explicit standalone roadmap commitments before signing a multi-year term.
- Support and product hours have historically followed Israeli and US eastern time, which leaves European and Asia Pacific customers with narrow overlap for anything urgent.

Answered, with sources
Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
What is elastic recruiting?
Each step of a hiring process is assigned to a named person with a defined action and deadline, and the system tracks completion rather than leaving candidates in an unowned queue.
Who owns Comeet?
Spark Hire acquired it in 2023 and sells it alongside video interviewing and assessment products.
How is it priced?
By quote, based on company size and hiring volume, with unlimited users rather than per recruiter seats.
Is it a good fit for low-volume hiring?
Not especially. The structure pays off when several people are involved in every hire and process delay is the real problem.
