I applied online. I interviewed at Rippling in May 2026
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling
Interview
Too many phases, meeting with people that ask the same thing and explain the same thing repeatedly - main output from all these meetings is that the role is HR Advisor, but could as well be Professional Firer, considering the emphasis they put on the layoff/offboarding/dismissal role of the person who takes the job.
The recruiter was nice, but again, too many different meetings with different people - if you work full-time that can be an issue. I was on holiday and it was a struggle to accommodate their requests, despite the fact that I mentioned more than once that I was travelling and had very limited access to internet. Beyond the interviews, there's a take-home assignment, but nothing very difficult
Went to the last stage, after meeting 5 people + taking an assignment, and not once was anyone able to provide me with salary ranges for the role, even if reference amounts only.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you know the process to fire employees; Have you ever had the experience of dismissing someone; How do you handle difficult clients
The first step was meeting with a Recruiter. The 2nd step was meeting with the Hiring Manager. The 3rd step was a "take home" assignment. There would have been 2 more interviews but I did not move forward. I was given no feedback on the take home assignment and received a very generic "thank you for applying but we moved forward with other candidates", which I felt was unprofessional that far into an interview process. The hiring manager lacked enthusiasm or even much of a personality during the interview so I am not sure I would've taken the job anyway, but a more personalized rejection or some feedback on the assignment would've been more considerate and helpful.

Question 1
Honestly I wasn't asked a lot about my experience. Both interviews i had were more of them telling me about the role.
