The user interface is clear and concise and not distracting. This is a pro because it allows you to focus on the interviewee and what they are saying.
It is easy to access interviews, watch, rewatch, etc. The entire process is just so convenient.

Cons

[The ability to have] any authenticator app can be used for login, not just Google Authenticator.
[I would like it if it] included a tutorial or walkthrough of the website for new users.
[There is] a few too many emails so far, [I would like the ability to] auto-set task reminders to monthly, not daily.

We'd like more control over certain functionalities within our APS integration.
We'd like more control over what actual communications are sent to our candidates.
We would like the ability to set a different expiration date for an interview when using our APS - right now our only choices are 7 days and 14 days.

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.

Usability

Rippling 8.8

Based on 139 answers

Rippling has a very user-friendly and intuitive user interface. The system layout is very logical and easy to use. The payday emails are fun and provide useful links to review your paystub. Employee onboarding, maintenance, and offboarding are easy to navigate. Reporting is configurable enough to get what you need.

Spark Hire 10.0

Based on 1 answer

Spark Hire is easy to use for both us and the candidate/interviewee. There is not a huge learning curve to being able to implement the program. Additionally, our clients (who are given access to the interviews) don't find it difficult to use, and our candidates have very few problems when recording their video interviews

Rippling 8.3

Any issues that arise are usually resolved within the same day! I only see it from the employee side, but when discussing issues with our HR department, it seems that they're able to address problems and find self-service solutions fairly easily.

Based on 4 answers

I have not used the support that much with Spark Hire but it seems that there are a lot of features available for support and different resources that are provided on Spark Hire's website. For the most part, the system is very user-friendly and it's easy to navigate and figure out things on your own.

Alternatives Considered

Bamboo, in all fairness, was another great internal platform that my last company used to track benefits. I [enjoyed] Bamboo, but Rippling is much easier to use, and I like how you can navigate through the platform faster. I also like the added alerts [...] Rippling provides to your email notifying you of when you get paid, any changes made to your account, etc.

I can't remember the names of the other companies I reviewed but I chose Spark Hire because I could purchase the service on a monthly basis. This is an important feature for us since we're a small business.

Return on Investment

Unsure of how much we paid to use Rippling, but I do know we are paying far less for health insurance with better policies
Being able to have each employee in the same place for mandatory trainings is easier to keep track of.
Always super simple to find my 401k contribution and change when needed
