How Rippling handles your CV
Companies using Rippling Recruiting publish jobs on a branded job board organised by department, and can post to job boards with native LinkedIn and Indeed integrations. You apply through the employer's form, which can include customisable screening questions.
Rippling describes its knockout questions as filtering out candidates who do not meet basic requirements, such as a certification or willingness to travel, before they reach the review queue. So a no on a must-have question can stop your application before anyone reads the CV.
Rippling also offers AI Application Review, which screens applications against criteria the hiring team defines, shows match scores and gives summaries of why each candidate did or did not meet the requirements. Your CV therefore needs to state the requirements you meet in plain, checkable terms.
Do
- Read the job's must-haves and make sure each one you meet appears plainly on your CV (a certification by its exact name, a language, a licence), because Rippling's AI review checks against team-defined criteria.
- Answer knockout questions accurately; Rippling says candidates who fail them are filtered out before reaching the review queue.
- Put evidence next to each skill, such as the tool and what you did with it, so a written summary of why you meet a criterion has something concrete to point to.
- Use standard section headings and a single column; like most ATSs, the form and review work best with plain text.
- Keep your details identical across the form, CV and LinkedIn; Rippling connects hiring to its HR system, so the record you create can carry on into onboarding if you are hired.
Don't
- Don't answer yes to a requirement you don't meet to get past a screening question; it will surface in review or interview.
- Don't leave a required certification or skill implied; spell it out.
- Don't use images, icons or charts for skills; text is what screening tools can read.
- Don't pad your CV with bare keyword lists; a summary of why you meet a criterion needs real evidence from your experience to point to.
Questions
Does Rippling use AI to screen applications?
Rippling offers AI Application Review, which screens candidates against criteria the employer's team defines and gives summaries explaining why each candidate did or did not meet them. Whether it is used depends on the employer.
Can Rippling reject me automatically?
Rippling says its knockout questions automatically filter out candidates who do not meet basic requirements before they reach the review queue. These are questions the employer adds to the application, so answer them carefully.
