RIVAL

In 2003, Rival, formerly SilkRoad Technology, set out to fix an all-too-familiar problem: lackluster onboarding experiences. It quickly introduced its category-creating digital onboarding solution, RedCarpet Onboarding, that not only addressed new hire onboarding, but additional life events such as promotions and offboarding as well. Since then, it has added to its human capital management suite by adding is applicant tracking, learning management and performance management solutions to deliver a holistic employee experience across the employee lifecycle.

In 2021, Rival was acquired by HighBar Partners, a private investment firm. HighBar Partners is a private investment firm that provides strategic growth capital to enterprises and infrastructure software companies with a focus on long-term value creation.
