“Talent War Tactics”
Hiring hasn’t gotten easier — it’s just changed. “Talent War Tactics” gives founders short, zero-fluff episodes on the scrappy, AI-powered moves winning top talent right now.

Hiring has always been a struggle for startups
But in the AI era, the pressure’s multiplied — everyone’s racing to ship product and scale before the window closes. The catch: Founders can’t outbid Big Tech on salary or brand. They have to win with story, systems and signal.
Talent War Tactics is Rippling’s new miniseries built for early-stage founders who treat recruiting like GTM. Each 8–12 minute episode breaks down one founder’s scrappy playbook — from AI-powered sourcing hacks to founder-led closing tactics — so that you can put it into practice the same day.
No theory. No fluff. Just real-world moves that attract builders who want day-one impact.

Why watch?
Every episode of Talent War Tactics is built to be used, not just watched. In 8–12 minutes, a founder walks you through the exact hiring move that worked for them — complete with a live demo, scripts and a quick visual explainer. You’ll leave with one play you can plug into your process right away.
