Turn your system of record into a
system of action
UKG HCM excels at managing payroll, time and attendance, and workforce scheduling, but it falls short when it comes to candidate engagement, agile workflows, and retention analytics. Rival gives you the seamless user experience, actionable insights, and flexibility and speed that you’re missing, without a costly rip-and-replace project.
Employee Experience Is More Than Timesheets and Paychecks.
UKG is the workforce management leader. It’s trusted across frontline-heavy industries where hourly and shift workers dominate. But it’s not just about paying employees on time or scheduling them correctly. Hiring, engaging, and retaining top talent with seamless experiences is non-negotiable. And adapting critical recruiting, preboarding, and onboarding workflows shouldn’t take months, IT tickets, or a team of expensive consultants.
Rival + UKG: the Engagement & Automation you're missing

Give your system of record the automation and speed it’s missing. Rival’s workflows can be customized in days—not months—to flex with M&A, policy shifts, or global expansions (without having to spend thousands on consultants).
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.
Rival plugs into UKG to give HR, managers, and employees the intuitive, self-service journeys they need. Guided steps and proactive nudges ensure faster hiring, smoother onboarding, and stronger retention.
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.
