Connect Karat technical interviews to Rippling so engineering hires move from interview-complete to day-one ready without manual handoffs.
The Rippling–Karat integration connects Karat's technical interviewing platform with Rippling's onboarding system. When a candidate completes a Karat interview and advances to hire, the record flows to Rippling to trigger the engineering onboarding sequence — including IT provisioning, GitHub access, and technical tooling setup.
Karat specializes in structured technical interviews conducted by a dedicated interviewer network, freeing engineering teams from first-round screening. Connecting Karat to Rippling closes the loop between interview pass and the day-one access that engineering new hires need immediately.
Engineering hiring pipelines often have the fastest time-to-start expectations and the most complex IT provisioning requirements. When Karat and Rippling aren't connected, IT setup doesn't begin until HR manually triggers it after the offer is accepted — creating a lag that delays engineering productivity on day one.
thePeopleStack configures the hire trigger from Karat to Rippling with engineering-specific onboarding tasks including developer tool provisioning, GitHub/GitLab access, and Jira or Linear workspace setup. We validate the trigger timing to ensure IT provisioning starts at offer acceptance, not at start date.

Karat integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US engineering hiring workflows.
Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian engineering hires, the Rippling onboarding trigger routes to Canadian payroll enrollment and Canadian-specific IT provisioning tasks.
Karat is a technical interviewing platform that conducts first-round engineering interviews using a dedicated network of professional interviewers, delivering structured evaluations and freeing internal engineers from screening calls.
Yes. Karat typically integrates with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS) for interview scheduling and results. The Rippling integration handles the downstream onboarding trigger at the point of hire.
Common engineering provisioning includes GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Slack, and developer-specific SaaS tools — all triggered from the same Rippling onboarding event that handles payroll and benefits.
Remote engineering hires benefit most from automated provisioning — they can't walk into an office for day-one setup. The Rippling onboarding sequence ensures all access and equipment are ready before the first day regardless of location.
Configuration takes 2–3 hours including engineering onboarding task setup and trigger testing.
