Rival Recruit

Rival Recruit is a comprehensive talent-acquisition solution from Rival (formerly SilkRoad Technology).

It combines sourcing, recruiting, candidate engagement, applicant-tracking, and analytics into a single platform, with the option to use it as a full-fledged ATS (applicant tracking system) or as an add-on to augment an existing ATS.

The platform integrates with third-party systems including background checks, payroll/HCM suites, assessment tools, and other HR tools.

Key features

Passive and active candidate sourcing:

• Rival Recruit includes access to a large database of candidate profiles (750 million+ passive profiles) to tap into talent who may not be actively job-seeking.
• Its built-in intelligence engine, dubbed ROSI, helps surface best-match candidates quickly, reducing the time and manual effort required for candidate discovery.

Personalised outreach and engagement:

• The platform supports bulk and individual outreach via email or SMS, while enabling messaging that feels tailored rather than generic.
• Rival Recruit can also generate job descriptions and outreach copy automatically, helping standardise employer branding while reducing recruiter workload.

End-to-end applicant tracking and hiring workflow:

• The software supports job posting, candidate tracking, interview scheduling, feedback collection, and offer management from its centralised dashboard.
• It supports configurable workflows, enabling teams to manage pipelines, move candidates through stages, and maintain alignment across hiring teams.

Candidate-centric experience:

• Employers can deliver branded career-site experiences and hosted “apply” flows, designed to make application simple and frictionless.
• The integrated scheduling and communication tools help streamline candidate experience from first contact to offer.

Analytics and insights:

• Real-time hiring dashboards give visibility into recruiter activity, pipeline health, and conversion metrics.
• Data on diversity, equity, inclusion, and pipeline composition helps teams monitor hiring equity and refine recruiting practices
