What is Tanda?

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

What is Workable?

Workable keeps filling out its HR suite, now with recurring engagement surveys.

Workable is a recruiting platform that is building a full HR suite around its applicant tracking. October added real-time attendance, bulk e-signature actions and now recurring pulse surveys, along with locale-aware formatting across the product. On the recruiting side, the AI Agent runs on metered credits for bulk candidate evaluation.

Tanda vs Workable: editorial side-by-side

T7.5

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

◆ Current state

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

◆ Where it's heading

Tanda Payroll is getting the access controls and fraud protections that larger and franchise employers expect, alongside steady award compliance updates. Hiring and onboarding keep gaining integrations, such as SMS in Hire and police checks.

◆ Prediction

Expect more permission scoping in payroll and further verification or compliance features built on the payslip seal.

Workable logo5.0

Workable keeps filling out its HR suite, now with recurring engagement surveys.

◆ Current state

Workable is a recruiting platform that is building a full HR suite around its applicant tracking. October added real-time attendance, bulk e-signature actions and now recurring pulse surveys, along with locale-aware formatting across the product. On the recruiting side, the AI Agent runs on metered credits for bulk candidate evaluation.

◆ Where it's heading

Most recent releases go to Workable HR, not recruiting: time and attendance, surveys, document workflows, and module toggles that make the suite easier to adopt in pieces. Recurring surveys are gated to Premier, Enterprise and a paid add-on, which shows the HR expansion is also a packaging strategy.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Performance & Engagement features behind plan gates, plus continued localization work after the three-English-locale launch.
