JazzHR's feed is recruiting-trends content, with no product releases visible
The recent feed is entirely editorial: AI screening, AI-and-authenticity in hiring, a recruiting-podcast recap, skills-based hiring, generational expectations, and a hiring 'trust problem' report. These are thought-leadership posts from the Employ/JazzHR blog, not release notes, so no shipped product changes appear here.
Tanda is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.
Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.

The content clusters around AI's effect on hiring — screening, candidate fraud, authenticity — which signals where JazzHR is pitching its narrative, but not what it is shipping. The feed is the marketing blog rather than a changelog.
Product trajectory is not predictable from these entries. A release-notes source would be needed to track JazzHR's actual feature direction.

Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.
The work is configuration depth rather than new surface: give admins switches, give reports structure, and cover country-specific payroll obligations as they come up. The UK pension export and the Australia-only SMS sender ID in the same week show a product widening regionally through compliance details, not through a single expansion push. The new roster layout is becoming the assumed baseline, since features are now being built only for it.
Expect more of the same cadence — additional per-region payroll exports and further admin-level controls over what the new roster layout shows, with the older layout drifting further behind.
