The HR-startup war escalates as Rippling ropes in Deel board members and launches a 'suspicious behavior' hotline
Briefly

Rippling has escalated its rivalry with Deel by establishing a hotline for companies to report suspicious behaviors linked to Deel following a lawsuit filed against them. The lawsuit claims Deel employed a corporate spy to steal trade secrets from Rippling, which noticed a surge in reports of Deel's suspicious activities. Additionally, Rippling has requested five board members of Deel to preserve potentially relevant documents. The competition between Rippling and Deel has been intense, with both companies valued over $10 billion and vying for similar clientele.
Rippling has created a hotline for companies to flag suspicious behavior by its chief rival, Deel, amid ongoing legal disputes.
Shortly after we filed the lawsuit, we began receiving numerous unsolicited reports from companies who experienced suspicious behavior by Deel over the last several months.
Rippling's lawsuit accuses Deel of using a corporate spy to steal company secrets, with the mole allegedly accessing Rippling's internal databases.
The alleged mole performed numerous searches in Rippling's internal Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce, gathering intelligence about potential clients.
