Integrate Lever with Rippling to automate hiring. Employees can easily get access to the software they need on day one. Rippling’s integration with Lever includes the following capabilities: (1) Create and Remove Accounts in Lever; (2) You can automatically assign your employees to groups in Lever, which are created around attributes like project and team. Configure your groups using specific employee names, or by fields in Rippling such as department, role, employment status, or management level; (3) Lever Single Sign On (SSO); and (4) Importing Candidates in Lever. Learn more on the Rippling website.
