ApplicantStack, from SwipeClock vs. Rippling

ApplicantStack is an excellent tool for managing applicants and recruitment efforts. It allows multiple users to access data and stay informed of the status of recruitment projects.

If you are a company that has a large remote worker population, get Rippling. No more depending on users connecting to a VPN to communicate with your inventory and application management program. The agent works well, and it's supported on both Mac and Windows. If you depend a multitude or on-prem devices and servers, then Rippling may not be the best choice. Others like PDQ do a great job in an on-site environment.

• Org chart functionality could be improved
• The applicant tracking system UI could be improved; we pivoted to another provider with more robust features that integrates with Rippling
• Functionality around manually creating checks or running edits on checks could be improved
• User permissions need some work; there should be the ability to have an IT admin profile that can edit user emails without seeing sensitive comp data (we have requested this feature)

Because it is through my current job I would recommend it to other friends with businesses both large and small. It is an easy to use app and it is super helpful and beneficial for time tracking and ensuring accuracy of the time clock. It notifies you when you are close to your allotted PTO limit which is also a neat feature.

Rippling’s usability is probably the best thing about it. I say this because it’s easy to use (even for people who are bad with interfaces or not familiar with HR practices). Once you get to the homepage, it only has a few crucial tabs so Rippling spared all of us the “guess work” that most softwares usually make us go through. You don’t get lost and know how to get to where you need in a matter of seconds

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

ApplicantStack support is outstanding. Any issue that I have ever encountered is handled within a day by their support team. There are very rarely issues that come up, and they typically stem from a user error, but the ApplicantStack team is always ready to help and solve the issues that arise.

Rippling has a knowledge base that is easy to use, very intuitive, and well-organized. The articles are text integrated with animations that teach the user how to configure, set up, process or complete a task. If you are unable to find the exact topic, Rippling's chat function allows you to get in contact with a specialist very quickly. In one occasion, the local treasury department had incorrectly applied withholding deposits to the company's account and created a balance due that was incorrect. Rippling's customer support worked directly with the agency and kept following up on the matter until they correctly applied for all the payments. The issue was resolved without our company's involvement.

Applicantstack offered a high level of customization for us, at a price point their competitors couldn't touch. While it's got some room for improvement in reporting, we've been able to fill every gap with custom programming at an incredibly reasonable rate.

Prior to Rippling, I was using Gusto. Gusto was a bit difficult to navigate benefits and the optimization of the servers would fail to load my benefits explanations, as well as time keeping and report approvals. It was inconsistent on when it would work well and when it would just not work at all. So far, I have not had issues with using Rippling for employee needs.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

• We want to see more applications. Most months, it would be impractical to have all those papers on our recruiter's desk. I cannot imagine going back to paper after using ApplicantStack.

Incentivized

• I save time with payroll and having betterment connected
• When I onboard I have a list set up through Rippling that I can check off as needed
• Offboarding an employee is easier for me as that in I have one place to do offboarding instead of 3.
