Employment Hero
Employment Hero's 2026 recap names a Payroll Agent next to its Recruitment Agent.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Leapsome — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy adds drag-and-drop to its project board a day after the new project view page.
Gauzy shipped twelve builds on October 20, v111.130.13 through v111.130.24, and v111.130.25 on October 21. The new surfaces are v111.130.16's project view page and now drag and drop on the project board; the rest were MikroORM and partial-update fixes, a v111.130.21 stage roll-up, and three evening tags that only adjust the egress audit and the uptime probe's Cloudflare rule handling.
Leapsome's tracked feed is evergreen HR content and re-dated old awards, not release notes.
The crawled feed for Leapsome is its marketing blog—employee-engagement guides, survey templates, HR-influencer roundups, podcast episodes, and G2 award announcements. Several entries are years-old content (G2 'Fall 2020' and 'Winter 2021' awards, early podcast episodes) surfaced with identical 2026-06-14 timestamps, indicating a bulk re-crawl artifact rather than fresh activity. No product changes are observable in this source.

Project management is getting visible attention: a dedicated project view page followed within a day by a draggable board. Underneath, the Ever Works two-way sync keeps gaining settings-driven behaviour and a contributor stream works through ORM-parity bugs. Operations work such as the egress audit and a hardened uptime probe shows the team getting more careful about what ships.
Expect more project-board polish (column and status handling) alongside continued MikroORM-parity fixes and periodic stage roll-ups. The entries don't indicate when the Ever Works integration will be declared stable.

No product changes are observable in this source.
What's visible is a People-Ops content-marketing library, not a shipping cadence. The uniform timestamps and dated content suggest the crawler ingested a back catalog in one pass, so velocity and recency signals from this feed are unreliable. Leapsome's actual product direction cannot be read here.
Without a real changelog source, no product-direction prediction is supportable from these entries; the immediate action is fixing the crawl source, not forecasting roadmap.
