What is Tanda?
Tanda is restyling its whole admin surface while quietly wiring AI judgment into hiring and rostering.
Tanda ships near-daily and most of it is workforce-management plumbing for AU/NZ operators: new pay run statuses so a failed run names the affected payslips instead of failing silently, no-show marking with reasons that flow into the Shift and Attendance reports, Beam super batches restricted to the bank accounts actually configured for them, and the Nurses Award phase-three wage increases handled inside the managed template with no customer action. Running alongside that is a page-by-page visual conversion — Locations and Teams, Stat Types, a new Sales page, a dedicated Roster Ratios page — most of it rolling out gradually per account.
What is Workable?
An applicant tracker becoming an HR system of record that AI agents can drive.
Workable now ships on two fronts at once: the HRIS layer (entity- and department-scoped admin, headcount reporting, shareable custom reports) and a Performance & Engagement suite that added native employee surveys this month. Alongside that, its MCP server grew past 30 tools, exposing candidate and employee search, the full performance-review lifecycle, member management, and document retrieval to outside AI clients. The recruiting core still gets attention, but the recent releases are mostly about records, permissions, and reporting rather than sourcing.

Tanda is restyling its whole admin surface while quietly wiring AI judgment into hiring and rostering.
◆ Current state
Tanda ships near-daily and most of it is workforce-management plumbing for AU/NZ operators: new pay run statuses so a failed run names the affected payslips instead of failing silently, no-show marking with reasons that flow into the Shift and Attendance reports, Beam super batches restricted to the bank accounts actually configured for them, and the Nurses Award phase-three wage increases handled inside the managed template with no customer action. Running alongside that is a page-by-page visual conversion — Locations and Teams, Stat Types, a new Sales page, a dedicated Roster Ratios page — most of it rolling out gradually per account.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The visible one is a long UI migration, shipped in slices behind gradual rollout, which is why so many entries say functionality is unchanged. The one that matters is that AI is being placed at the decision points: applicants are now automatically tiered against criteria the employer writes in plain language, and the roster validation page consolidates Roster Agent instructions with custom natural-language validations. Tanda is not marketing an AI product; it is putting a scoring layer inside the screens managers already use.
◆ Prediction
Expect the same criteria-and-explanation pattern to spread to other decisions Tanda already automates — rostering suggestions and timesheet approvals are the obvious candidates, given the Roster Agent already takes natural-language instructions. The POS revenue-splitting work also flags more integrations to come, since the entry says so explicitly.
Workable
7.5HR
An applicant tracker becoming an HR system of record that AI agents can drive.
◆ Current state
Workable now ships on two fronts at once: the HRIS layer (entity- and department-scoped admin, headcount reporting, shareable custom reports) and a Performance & Engagement suite that added native employee surveys this month. Alongside that, its MCP server grew past 30 tools, exposing candidate and employee search, the full performance-review lifecycle, member management, and document retrieval to outside AI clients. The recruiting core still gets attention, but the recent releases are mostly about records, permissions, and reporting rather than sourcing.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from applicant tracking toward a full employee system of record, with the June Workable Agent release and the July MCP expansion making that record machine-readable rather than just human-facing. Governance work — scoped admin rights, permission-aware report sharing, audit-ready offer data — is the tell that Workable is chasing larger, multi-entity customers. Each new HR module (surveys, headcount analytics) both widens the footprint and gives the agent and MCP layers more surface to act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to keep filling out Performance & Engagement — survey analytics, goal or 1:1 tooling — and to wire those new modules into the MCP tool list the way reviews already are.
