SilkRoad Activate (legacy software)

SilkRoad Activate was a cloud-based HRMS solution that offered core functions like benefits, attendance, and payroll management. It took an integrated approach, tracking employees from hiring and onboarding to career development and role transitions.

The platform personalized the employee experience, focusing on engagement and tailored training to meet individual needs and aspirations. Employees had an interface that displayed their journey within the company and performance metrics.

Rebrand to Rival

In late 2023, SilkRoad Technology announced its rebrand to Rival amidst the vendor's shift towards an intelligent talent acquisition software. 

This announcement came with the reveal of Rival Recruit, the first TA suite with native AI-enhanced insights and candidate engagement tools.

Core functions of the then-SilkRoad software included recruiting and learning, onboarding, and performance applications. As the software was built as a set of interconnected apps, there were many optional business add-ons, including analytics and performance management sourcing. The software also integrated with Microsoft 365, which meant there was a single login for all the apps, as well as interconnected third-party applications.

Silkroad Activate included email integration with Outlook and Gmail. Silkroad Activate also used an API, which included forms for capturing leads.
