Rippling HR Cloud and Teamtailor serve distinctly different recruiting needs. Rippling excels as an integrated HR platform with superior reporting and analytics, making it ideal for companies prioritizing seamless HR-recruitment data flow and detailed hiring metrics.

Teamtailor, with its outstanding careers page customization and candidate experience features, is better suited for companies focusing on employer branding and high-volume hiring efficiency. While both platforms offer core ATS functionality, their strengths make them appropriate for different use cases.

Advantages of Rippling HR Cloud

Rippling is significantly better at reporting and analytics
We found Rippling's reporting capabilities to be exceptional, with the ability to create highly customized dashboards and deep analytics. This is particularly valuable for data-driven HR teams who need to track hiring metrics and optimize their recruitment process. In contrast, Teamtailor's reporting features are more basic, requiring data exports for advanced insights.
Rippling offers superior HRIS integration
With its native HRIS integration, Rippling provides seamless synchronization between HR and recruiting data, making it ideal for companies wanting to maintain a single source of truth for employee data. Teamtailor lacks a native HRIS, requiring third-party integrations for this functionality.

Advantages of Teamtailor

Teamtailor offers significantly better candidate experience
Teamtailor provides superior candidate experience features including self-scheduling for interviews, candidate feedback surveys, and automated email sequences for candidate nurturing. Rippling HR Cloud lacks these key features, making the candidate journey less smooth and requiring more manual work from recruiters.
Teamtailor is far superior at creating engaging careers pages
Teamtailor offers best-in-class careers page customization with a drag-and-drop builder, allowing teams to create highly engaging candidate experiences. Features like team stories (similar to Instagram stories) and instant candidate chat significantly enhance employer branding. Rippling HR Cloud's careers pages are much more basic in comparison.
Teamtailor has much better workflow automation
Teamtailor's workflow automation is more sophisticated, allowing teams to automate candidate communications, interview scheduling, and task assignment with detailed customization options. While Rippling offers basic automation, it lacks the depth and flexibility of Teamtailor's solution.

Rippling HR Cloud is best for

  • Businesses with low hiring volumes (1-2 open positions at a time),
  • Who want an comprehensively integrated HRIS + ATS solution with excellent analytics
  • And/or who want sophisticated workflow automation and reporting capabilities across HR+ATS modules

Teamtailor is best for

  • Businesses with low to high hiring volumes (1 to 10 open positions at a time)
  • Who are looking for a powerful yet easy-to-use ATS
  • Or who particularly value employer branding and candidate experience

Rippling HR Cloud is less good for

  • Business with moderate to high hiring volumes (>3 open positions at a time)
  • Who needs a powerful ATS with richer automation, customization and candidate sourcing/ nurturing capabilities
  • Or businesses who want a low-cost, lightweight ATS

Teamtailor is less good for

  • Business with very high hiring volumes (>10 open positions at a time)
  • Who want a powerful ATS with advanced analytics functionality

Stackfix Verdict
Functionality
6

Functionality

6/10

<p>Rippling's ATS can only used as an add-on to its HRIS. Together, they provides seamless sync between people and recruiting data, enabling real-time visibility into open and filled positions. The platform allows for management of headcount plans and compensation bands, and offers advanced analytics capabilities.</p><p>However, its ATS alone lacks some features key for handling high hiring volumes, such as a CV parser and candidate self-scheduling for interviews.&nbsp;</p>
9

Functionality

9/10

<p>Teamtailor offers all the functionality that most SMBs will need for hiring. In addition to core ATS features (track applicants over a pipeline, create job ad), Teamtailor allows you to compare candidates side-by-side, create highly customisable career pages with a no-code wbe builder, nurture candidates by sending them email sequences and more.</p>
Ease of Use
7

Ease of Use

7/10

<p>Rippling's ATS is generally user-friendly and straightforward to navigate. However, there is a learning curve for reporting and building automation workflows, especially across HR+ATS modules.</p>
9

Ease of Use

9/10

<p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">Despite its very rich functionality, Teamtailor is very user-friendly. Key workflows such as creating a job opening, customizing an interview pipeline and setting up automations are all very straightforward and intuitive. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">An average SMB employee should require around an hour and minimum guidance to use the product proficiently.</span></p>
Look and feel

Look and feel

6/10

<p>Rippling is visually acceptable, but we find that the layout can be a bit overwhelming at times. Page load times are acceptable.&nbsp;</p>

Look and feel

10/10

<p>Teamtailor <span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">has a vibrant, modern design and instant load times that will be an absolute joy to use, for both your hiring team and candidates. </span></p>
Customisability
6

Customisability

6/10

<p>Rippling offers less customisation than specialised ATS's. For example, you can't schedule buffer times between interviews, or enable file upload on job application forms.</p><p>However, it provides standard levels of customisability for other aspects like creating career pages and interview pipelines.&nbsp;</p>
8

Customisability

8/10

<p>You can customise most things with Teamtailor, from interview stages, job application forms, reports to widgets on the homepage. It also offers best-in-class customisability for careers pages.</p><p>The only things missing are more advanced customisability with reports and interview scheduling.</p>
Ease of Setup
5

Ease of Setup

5/10

<p>Rippling doesn't offer a free trial and requires you to speak to sales before making a purchase. The ATS is user-friendly making basic setup relatively simple compared to other ATSs; &lt;30mins to complete. Some key features have a learning curve, therefore, fully customizing takes &lt;1week.</p>
8

Ease of Setup

8/10

<p>Teamtailor offers a free trial without needing to speak to sales. However, to make a purchase, you have to speak to sales due to the custom pricing. It takes &lt;30mins to complete basic setup (posting first job opening, add hiring team members, configure basic hiring stages). Fully customize key features (creating custom workflows, configuring integrations, branding the platform) takes &lt;1week.</p>
Customer Support

Customer Support

5/10

<p>Rippling's customer support seem somewhat inconsistent. We found it frustrating to deal with Rippling's AI chatbot in order to live chat with a human agent. Users we've interviewed also report having salesy account managers.</p><p>On the flip side, we've also had positive reviews of Rippling's support team being very hands-on and willing to help,</p>
10

Customer Support

10/10

<p>Teamtailor provides excellent in-app customer support during UK and US hours. Our testers found it super easy to connect with human agents, who are always friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond.</p>
Integratability

Integratability

7/10

<p>Rippling has a rich integrations ecosystem with 500+ pre-built integrations, which includes 8 free job boards and 25k premium job boards. However, it crucially lacks integrations with candidate assessment tools and video interview tools.&nbsp;</p><p>It does offer an API for custom integrations.</p>

<p>Teamtailor offers 350+ pre-built integrations covering key areas like HRIS, assessments, background checks, e-sign tools, and video interviews. It also connects to 32 free job boards and 100+ premium ones. It also offers an API for custom integrations.</p>
