Overview
Rippling ATS (marketed by Rippling as "Recruiting") is an applicant tracking system built into Rippling's unified workforce management platform, which also covers HRIS, payroll, benefits, time and attendance, and IT/device management. Rather than being sold as a standalone product, it shares Rippling's single employee data model, so headcount approvals, hires, and onboarding tasks pass between recruiting and the rest of the platform without duplicate data entry.
The product posts job openings to thousands of job boards with native LinkedIn and Indeed integrations, screens applicants with an AI match score against the job's requirements, and lets candidates self-book interviews against real-time panelist availability. Interviews can be recorded and transcribed automatically, with AI generating a summary of strengths and areas for improvement, and interviewer feedback synthesized into a single scorecard summary. An employee referral hub tracks referrals through the pipeline and can pay bonuses automatically through Rippling payroll once a referred candidate is hired.
Reporting combines recruiting metrics (tenure by source, interviewer performance, offer acceptance) with post-hire employee data already sitting in Rippling's HRIS. Rippling positions the product for growing companies of any size, from small businesses scaling headcount to enterprises running structured, multi-stage hiring processes.
