Rippling is an all-in-one HR + IT + finance platform: payroll, benefits, device management, identity, expense, and global EOR — all in one product. Talzy does one thing: source, vet, employ, and operate dedicated engineering teams in Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland.
If you need one tool to run an entire global workforce, Rippling is built for that. If you need a partner to build the engineering team in the first place, Talzy is built for that.
