SilkRoad Worked for Me!
I was not part of the selection process, but was pleased with how we used the tool.

SilkRoad Red Carpet
The overall system is comparable to other on-boarding systems. The interface is similar to others in the industry I have used or observed during industry events. Limitations with customization of user interface design and reporting requirements is the primary challenge compared to others in the industry with similar features or function.

Stop buyers remorse using SilkRoad Onboarding!
We have previewed several onboarding platforms, but none has come close to the quality and flexibility of SilkRoad Onboarding (RedCarpet). Prehire task management allows each department to do what they do best to prepare for the new hire's first day. Keys, computer access, and office spaces are prepared in advance, so each new hire feels valued.

A great tool to make life easier
SilkRoad Onboarding knocks the ADP onboarding tools out of the park.

Onboarding Made Easy
RedCarpet had a seamless integration with our ATS and provided a great candidate experience.

Onboarding in the USA!
RedCarpet is the first electronic onboarding system I have used. We did get proposals from other companies, but RedCarpet is working very well for us and has achieved the streamlining of onboarding that we hoped it would.

RedCarpet worked well when we used it
Redcarpet worked well when we first got it. We outgrew it and therefore moved on. I would say that if I could do it all over again - I would have set up the onboarding differently and then we would never have had to change. Cost was also an issue.

The RedCarpet Roll Out
I had only ever seen one other on-boarding tool before and this one had much better capabilities and a better Candidate Portal.

We originally selected SilkRoad's OpenHire applicant tracking system and purchased their RedCarpet onboarding system as a package. Though we evaluated other ATS products, no other onboarding products were analyzed.

I love RedCarpet!!
RedCarpet is totally a better system to use then some of the other applicant tracking system that we currently use. It is more user friendly. The other system requires for the applicant to have certain browsers and operating systems to be able to begin their new hire paperwork. With RedCarpet there is no restrictions on the browsers or the operating system. Also it is easier to track the progress being made throughout the onboarding process, the progress is reported on the recruiting coordinators dashboard. This is an awesome system to use for applicant tracking.

RedCarpet Onboarding User Review
I am not a part of the selection process and have only used RedCarpet.

Frustrated User
I have used People Services which is managed by the HRIS team. I do not know anything about how the back end works, but it seems to me more of a smoother process because it integrates with our other HR systems.
