What is Ashby?
Ashby keeps widening admin controls, now letting dashboards leave as CSV, not just PDF.
Ashby's recent releases are admin-facing workflow controls: configurable approval context, a policy for pending feedback at stage changes, interviewer-defined Recruiting Blocks, Offer Packet Templates and fiscal-year settings with time zones and start- or end-year labels. The latest change lets dashboard exports produce CSV, or CSV plus PDF, instead of PDF only.
What is Tanda?
Tanda's first AI agent finds reports from plain language while payroll controls keep piling up.
Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, with Australian employment compliance at the center. This week brought a Reporting Agent that turns a plain-language request into the matching report, a one-click revert of unpublished roster edits, overtime automation in the Road Transport award template, and now pay groups assignable through position templates.
Ashby vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side
Ashby
6.3HR
Ashby keeps widening admin controls, now letting dashboards leave as CSV, not just PDF.
◆ Current state
Ashby's recent releases are admin-facing workflow controls: configurable approval context, a policy for pending feedback at stage changes, interviewer-defined Recruiting Blocks, Offer Packet Templates and fiscal-year settings with time zones and start- or end-year labels. The latest change lets dashboard exports produce CSV, or CSV plus PDF, instead of PDF only.
◆ Where it's heading
Ashby is making each step of the hiring workflow configurable and repeatable, and the last two releases push that into reporting: fiscal-year boundaries are now set by admins, and dashboard data can now leave as raw rows that feed spreadsheets and other BI tools rather than a static document.
◆ Prediction
Expect more reporting and export controls, such as scheduled or API-driven exports, alongside further offer and approval templates. The entries don't show what the next AI-facing release will be.
Tanda
8.8HR
Tanda's first AI agent finds reports from plain language while payroll controls keep piling up.
◆ Current state
Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, with Australian employment compliance at the center. This week brought a Reporting Agent that turns a plain-language request into the matching report, a one-click revert of unpublished roster edits, overtime automation in the Road Transport award template, and now pay groups assignable through position templates.
◆ Where it's heading
Payroll and rostering keep gaining controls larger employers expect: pay run approvals, bulk pay condition changes and now pay groups set by position. The admin UX is being rebuilt around fewer clicks, and the Reporting Agent applies the same idea to reporting.
◆ Prediction
Expect more template-driven payroll settings that apply by position or award, and the agent pattern to extend to other navigation-heavy areas. Whether the Reporting Agent will build new reports rather than match existing ones is not yet visible.
