Jobvite is the candidate sourcing solution everyone is talking about. This application takes a new approach to making referrals, promoting open positions and finding qualified candidates.

Rypple Feedback is a SaaS application that takes the most basic function of performance reviews, and ramps it up for a far more engaging experience. Similar to a social network, Rypple makes it easy for leaders to recognize achievements and offer regular feedback to employees. The design provides managers with better visibility into the performance and activities of employees. Managers are able to track the feedback and accomplishments of team members, so reviews can encompass all of an employee’s activities and performance over the course of a year. The best part about this program, though, is its simplicity. For all it does to make performance reviews a more interactive, ongoing process, this program is equally user-friendly at every level. It makes setting goals, monitoring activity, documenting performance, and scheduling reviews (or “loops,” as they call them) a snap. Rypple currently offers various subscription options from free to $9 per user per month.
