Turned Bengaluru into a purple-and-yellow billboard for Rippling, engineers in Bengaluru couldn’t miss us if they tried.
Apparently, leading employer branding in both India and the USA.
Launched the biggest campaign Bangalore’s ever seen after Gojek (first one) to attract engineering talent. No big deal. (Feel free to refer to the below post).
Also gave Rippling’s career site a major facelift, complete with shiny new pages for culture, engineering, and more. You’re welcome—check it out at rippling.jobs.
Teamed up with People and Recruitment to make web pages that actually work for candidates.
Oh, and I produced a bunch of videos on culture and engineering, because why not?
