The week in hr-recruiting

The lead is that HR suites are letting managers delegate tasks in plain language. Tanda opened an HR Agent beta, and Leapsome launched an ATS with AI-built workflows and MCP access, widening a performance product into hiring.

The quieter pattern is compliance: gates that block actions until something is acknowledged, and logs that record what AI answered.

Leaders

Tanda opened an HR Agent beta inside its HR Hub where managers type requests such as assigning a survey to Brisbane staff or listing unsigned contracts. It also lets staff be blocked from clocking on until they acknowledge an announcement.

Leapsome launched its own applicant tracking system with AI-generated workflows, dashboards and MCP connectivity, so it now covers hiring as well as performance. Leapsome AI, which helps managers rewrite written feedback, is background.

IceHrm added an extension marketplace and background payroll processing off the request path so large employee counts can run. Version 36.0.2 also patched two critical PHP RCEs and restricted manager uploads to their own team.

Fountain logs every Candidate AI answer, opened remote I-9 reverification methods to all I-9 Center customers, and expanded Reach campaigns into one row per underlying Google Ads or Meta campaign.

Ashby turned on Complete feedback when changing stage for all customers and added location fields to conditional forms. It continues to tighten admin controls.

Wildcards

Ever Gauzy began creating workspaces from signed Ever Platform requests, marked work in progress, and added subtasks from the task page. It is provisioning plumbing rather than a visible feature.

Themes that compounded

  • Delegation to agents at Tanda and workflow generation at Leapsome.
  • Gates on behavior, as at Tanda and Ashby, which require acknowledgement or feedback before moving on.
  • Records of AI output at Fountain.
  • Security patching at IceHrm.

Watch this week

Tanda's HR Agent is a beta, so watch for its supported request types to widen. IceHrm has now issued two security patches since its 36 rebuild, and Leapsome's ATS will show whether its MCP access gets documented.
