What is Tanda?
Tanda consolidates compliance and integrations with a high-frequency release cadence targeting AU and UK payroll markets
Tanda is a workforce management platform shipping at high frequency — seven releases in two days this week — focused on AU and UK payroll compliance, POS integrations, and UI modernization. The POS integration page was rebuilt, multiple SEEK job board connections became possible per account, and a Reporting Agent using AI to find the right report from natural language input launched just outside this batch.
What is Workable?
Workable's hiring agent maps AI decisions to human disqualification taxonomy, closing the reporting gap
Workable is integrating its AI hiring agent deeper into the ATS data model. Agent scores now persist across all pipeline stages, agent-candidate conversations are readable in a side panel without downloading a file, and — most significantly — the agent's auto-disqualification reasons now map to the account's own disqualification categories, making AI and human decisions interchangeable in reporting. Alongside this, the ADP Workforce Now NextGen connector launched on the same timeline as ADP's platform rollout to mid-market customers.

Tanda consolidates compliance and integrations with a high-frequency release cadence targeting AU and UK payroll markets
◆ Current state
Tanda is a workforce management platform shipping at high frequency — seven releases in two days this week — focused on AU and UK payroll compliance, POS integrations, and UI modernization. The POS integration page was rebuilt, multiple SEEK job board connections became possible per account, and a Reporting Agent using AI to find the right report from natural language input launched just outside this batch.
◆ Where it's heading
The trajectory is toward a single platform covering scheduling, payroll compliance, hiring, and POS integration for shift-based businesses across AU and UK. The Reporting Agent (AI-powered report discovery) signals an AI layer coming to reporting and analytics. PayTo automation in AU and UK pension/salary sacrifice tooling point to more country-specific compliance features.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI assistance in payroll and reporting workflows — building on the Reporting Agent foundation — and continued geographic expansion of payroll compliance features as the UK market matures.
Workable
6.3HR
Workable's hiring agent maps AI decisions to human disqualification taxonomy, closing the reporting gap
◆ Current state
Workable is integrating its AI hiring agent deeper into the ATS data model. Agent scores now persist across all pipeline stages, agent-candidate conversations are readable in a side panel without downloading a file, and — most significantly — the agent's auto-disqualification reasons now map to the account's own disqualification categories, making AI and human decisions interchangeable in reporting. Alongside this, the ADP Workforce Now NextGen connector launched on the same timeline as ADP's platform rollout to mid-market customers.
◆ Where it's heading
Workable is building toward a hiring pipeline where AI decisions are structurally indistinguishable from human ones in the reporting and audit layers — same disqualification categories, same pipeline visibility, same scoring columns. The international push (nine candidate languages, French/Danish/Dutch UI) tracks European market expansion where localization is a procurement requirement. LinkedIn job promotion now sold in-app signals increasing investment in the distribution layer alongside the evaluation layer.
◆ Prediction
The next move is likely agent-driven multi-stage advancement based on configurable score thresholds, and possibly agent-managed offer letter generation. The Ideal Candidate Profile edit-and-re-evaluate feature sets up a feedback loop that could evolve into automated ICP refinement based on hiring outcomes.
