Rival HR
AI-powered HR orchestration suite spanning sourcing, ATS/CRM recruiting, onboarding journeys, learning, and performance.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Rival HR is a modular talent suite (sourcing, ATS/CRM recruiting, onboarding journeys, learning, performance) sold on a quote. The AI layer is ROSI (Rival OS Intelligence).
Stands out for: Sourcing searches 750M+ profiles and is built to sit on top of an ATS you already run. Rival is SilkRoad Technology, Inc. doing business as Rival, with 20+ years in onboarding.
Watch out for: There is no public rate card. You buy modules (Recruit, Onboard, Journeys, Learn, Perform) through sales. This is an orchestration overlay, not a $50/mo SMB ATS.
Overview
Rival (SilkRoad Technology, Inc., dba Rival) sells a modular talent suite: sourcing, Recruit ATS/CRM, onboarding, employee journeys, learning, and performance. ROSI is the built-in AI for search, generative content, and insights. Recruit includes a Chrome extension, branded career sites, and interview scheduling (Cronofy calendars).
The vendor does not publish a price. Demos go through sales. Products can run beside Workday-class HCMs or as the ATS. Integrations are described as the existing ATS/HCM stack rather than a short public logo list.
Who it's for
Best for
- Mid-market and enterprise HR that already have an HCM and need a journey layer
- TA teams that want 750M-profile outbound sourcing beside an existing ATS
- HR orgs replacing or extending SilkRoad Recruit and Onboard
- Companies that want ROSI agentic workflows across hire-to-retire
Not ideal for
- Startups that need a published per-month ATS and a credit-card checkout
- Teams that only want a lightweight job board, not an HR orchestration suite
