What is Harver?
Harver's public feed is a hiring-science content program, not a product changelog.
Everything Harver publishes on this feed is long-form thought leadership about assessment science — validity, adverse-impact defensibility, and what actually predicts job performance — much of it bylined to in-house I/O psychologists. There are no release notes, version numbers, or feature announcements in the visible stream. Product capability can only be inferred second-hand, through the assessment concepts the posts argue for.
What is Tanda?
Agents keep landing in Tanda, but the compliance engine is still the product.
Tanda ships several times a week into Australian and New Zealand workforce management, and the last fortnight splits cleanly in two. One half is statutory machinery: midnight-to-midnight daily overtime in award rules, child employment law as automatic roster validation, and a rewrite of how child support deductions are referenced in the ABA file. The other half is automation of the payroll run itself - draft pay runs created on a schedule, payslips emailed on posting, super batches created automatically.
Harver vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side
Harver
5.0HR
Harver's public feed is a hiring-science content program, not a product changelog.
◆ Current state
Everything Harver publishes on this feed is long-form thought leadership about assessment science — validity, adverse-impact defensibility, and what actually predicts job performance — much of it bylined to in-house I/O psychologists. There are no release notes, version numbers, or feature announcements in the visible stream. Product capability can only be inferred second-hand, through the assessment concepts the posts argue for.
◆ Where it's heading
The editorial line has consolidated around a single claim: organizations are hiring for AI-era work without any measurement of whether their people can adapt. Three of the last ten posts build out 'AI readiness' as a construct that ought to be tested rather than assumed, and a parallel thread argues that validated assessments are what survives legal and executive scrutiny. Customer proof points like the Pandora case study are being used to attach dollar figures to that argument.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI-readiness material aimed at internal mobility and redeployment rather than external hiring alone, plus additional named-customer outcome stories. Nothing in this feed indicates what Harver is actually shipping, so no product move can be predicted from it.
Tanda
7.5HR
Agents keep landing in Tanda, but the compliance engine is still the product.
◆ Current state
Tanda ships several times a week into Australian and New Zealand workforce management, and the last fortnight splits cleanly in two. One half is statutory machinery: midnight-to-midnight daily overtime in award rules, child employment law as automatic roster validation, and a rewrite of how child support deductions are referenced in the ABA file. The other half is automation of the payroll run itself - draft pay runs created on a schedule, payslips emailed on posting, super batches created automatically.
◆ Where it's heading
The agent programme that began with the Automatic Rostering Agent in May now has a fourth and fifth surface - candidate ranking in Hire, and a Widget Creator Agent that builds dashboard widgets from a written description. Each new agent covers another module rather than deepening the first, so the pattern is breadth across the suite, not depth in one place. Underneath it, the compliance catalogue keeps growing at its own steady rate, which is what actually keeps the product hard to displace in this market.
◆ Prediction
The Widget Creator Agent is currently limited to Cost, Workforce, and Time and Attendance reports, so the near-term move is extending it to the remaining report families. Expect the child employment rollout, explicitly described as gradual, to reach general availability next.
