Jobvite
5.0HR

◆ Current state
The entries tracked here are Jobvite's marketing blog, not product release notes: podcast recaps, hiring-trend essays, and data-report teasers. No shipped product changes are visible. The recurring subject matter clusters around AI's disruption of hiring — candidate fraud, skills-based hiring replacing resumes, and shifting job-seeker trust.
◆ Where it's heading
From this feed alone, the only readable direction is editorial positioning: Jobvite (under the Employ brand) is anchoring its voice to AI-era hiring anxieties — fraud detection, skills-over-credentials, and generational expectation gaps. What the underlying ATS is actually shipping isn't observable here, so any product trajectory would be speculation rather than evidence.
◆ Prediction
If the content themes track the roadmap, expect Jobvite to message product features around candidate-fraud detection and skills-based screening — but this feed doesn't yet confirm shipped capabilities.
Horilla
0.0HR
Horilla opens its 2.0 beta, then follows with major CVE security patches.
◆ Current state
Horilla, the open-source HRMS, has two visible moves: a first beta of its 2.0 major version (October 2025), described as a significant milestone, and a subsequent round of major CVE security patches (January 2026).
◆ Where it's heading
The product is mid-transition to its 2.0 line while maintaining security on the current release — a maturation-and-harden pattern typical of a major-version runway.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.0 to progress from beta toward a stable release, with continued security patching on the existing line in the meantime.
