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?

Tanda layers a prompt-built widget on top of relentless compliance plumbing.

Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, and most of it is compliance work: award template updates, super fund closure warnings, manager approval for under-18 school details, and now Tanda-managed parental consent templates per Australian state. Bulk actioning of draft pay condition changes cuts admin time for large workforces. The AI widget builder remains the one entry that changes how users reach their data rather than which rules the system enforces.

Harver vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

H5.0

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.

T7.5

Tanda layers a prompt-built widget on top of relentless compliance plumbing.

◆ Current state

Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, and most of it is compliance work: award template updates, super fund closure warnings, manager approval for under-18 school details, and now Tanda-managed parental consent templates per Australian state. Bulk actioning of draft pay condition changes cuts admin time for large workforces. The AI widget builder remains the one entry that changes how users reach their data rather than which rules the system enforces.

◆ Where it's heading

The core remains Australian employment compliance, now extending from awards and payroll into minors' employment rules state by state. Bulk tooling and partner-account syncing point to growth through larger, multi-entity customers. The prompt-to-widget feature hints at a natural-language layer over existing reports.

◆ Prediction

Expect more state-specific compliance content for under-18 staff and more bulk operations in workforce admin; whether natural-language querying spreads beyond dashboard widgets is not yet visible.
