Rippling hiring like crazy lately, anyone know if it's sustainable?

Counterpoint, aggressive hiring before an IPO push isn't automatically a red flag.

Or they're just backfilling after people jumped ship during the lawsuit stuff lol

Same, three recruiter messages this month alone. Feels like they're hiring for anything with a pulse rn.

Yeah that's kind of what prompted the post lol. Wondering if it's real growth or just backfill.

Reply to @derekhuangProbably prepping for another funding round tbh. Companies always ramp hiring right before they raise.

Deel drama probably pushed some of their sales headcount up too, not just eng.
