Turn your system of record into a
system of action

UKG excels at supporting hourly and shift-based workforces across payroll, time, attendance, and complex scheduling. But today’s frontline talent landscape demands more: seamless hiring journeys, engaging preboarding and onboarding, and adaptable workflows that drive retention. Rival adds the flexibility, speed, and user experience UKG lacks, giving you a modern, unified talent layer without a costly rip-and-replace project.

Rival + UKG: the Engagement & Automation you’re missing

Give your system of record the flexibility and speed it’s missing. Rival centralizes compliance across regions, worker types, and global teams. And when your business or policies change, journey updates can be made in days, not months, so you can skip the manual workarounds and costly consultants.

Flexibility Dashboard

Import candidates from UKG and layer on Rival’s AI-powered sourcing, intelligent matching, and personalized candidate outreach. Automate critical preboarding, onboarding, and offboarding tasks so HR can focus on building connections.

AI Sourcing

Rival turns people data into seamless employee experiences. Guided workflows reduce friction at every step, and branded, customizable employee portals make it easy for people to find what they need, when they need it.

Workflow Automation

Rival enriches UKG’s data with metrics around offer-to-start conversion, 90-day retention, and preboarding completion. And with intuitive dashboards and real-time alerts, Rival helps prevent compliance risks and turns insight into action.

Employee Experience

From HRIS to Background Checks:
Rival Connects it all

In addition to UKG, Rival seamlessly integrates with 2,000+ HR technologies—everything from background checks and payroll to EDMS, HMS, and ATS vendors of choice. With enterprise-grade security standards, we ensure that your data is securely flowing between systems. And the best part? Rival does the heavy lifting when it comes to setting up and maintaining your business-critical integrations—no additional support needed from your own IT or operations teams.

All employee records and files are maintained in UKG PeopleDoc. Prior to integrating Rival and UKG, each completed employee form was manually uploaded into PeopleDoc. With an average of 1,800 completed forms per year, this left plenty of room for error, opening up Bendix to compliance risks and delays in onboarding and offboarding. With the Rival + UKG integration, we are able to automate this process. What used to take 10-15 minutes per employee can now be accomplished in one click. This saves our team 450+ hours annually and ensures Bendix is always audit-ready.
