RippleMatch is a web-based platform for recruiting university students and other early-career candidates. It combines job matching with automated sourcing, applicant filtering, recruiting workflows, employer branding, analytics and reporting, and applicant-tracking-system integrations. Candidates are matched to roles using their background, skills and goals, with an explanation of why a role fits. Employers can manage in-person and virtual recruiting events, including mobile-friendly check-in and attendance tracking. Two-way ATS connections can send candidates into an ATS, bring status updates back, and sync ATS data with RippleMatch. The help center lists integrations for Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, CodeSignal, Jobvite, SmartRecruiters, iCIMS and SuccessFactors. RippleMatch says it conducts annual SOC 2 Type II audits, complies with GDPR, and stores encrypted data with automatic backups on Amazon Web Services. Candidates pay no fees. Employer subscriptions are priced by request. The company was founded in 2016 and works with employers ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
