What is Teamtailor?
Teamtailor lets recruiters write their own AI pipeline steps in plain language.
Teamtailor's stage triggers have become its automation surface, and AI is being added to them one task at a time: screening at any stage, requesting missing candidate info, and now Smart action, a trigger whose behaviour is defined by a recruiter's prompt. Alongside that, the product keeps shipping conventional ATS features such as candidate endorsements, group meeting declines and onboarding videos.
What is Workyard?
Workyard is making itself the system of record for construction payroll, one rule at a time.
Workyard now covers time capture, overtime rule authoring, expense cards and accounting export for construction crews. The latest release shows accounting-system project numbers and team member IDs everywhere in the app and in search, pulled from whichever integration the admin picks. The September releases filled in the money side: plain-English overtime rules, any-US-bank card funding, in-place fixes for declined merchants and a Sage 100 Contractor export.
Teamtailor vs Workyard: editorial side-by-side
Teamtailor lets recruiters write their own AI pipeline steps in plain language.
◆ Current state
Teamtailor's stage triggers have become its automation surface, and AI is being added to them one task at a time: screening at any stage, requesting missing candidate info, and now Smart action, a trigger whose behaviour is defined by a recruiter's prompt. Alongside that, the product keeps shipping conventional ATS features such as candidate endorsements, group meeting declines and onboarding videos.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI work is moving from fixed-function triggers toward general ones, with guardrails shipped in the same release each time: audit logs, prompt verification, bias warnings, hidden-instruction detection. Decisions stay with the recruiter while data entry, tagging and chasing are handed to the system.
◆ Prediction
Smart action is limited to one action per prompt and four action types; expect that list to widen, likely toward the messaging and stage-move actions other triggers already perform.

6.3HR
Workyard is making itself the system of record for construction payroll, one rule at a time.
◆ Current state
Workyard now covers time capture, overtime rule authoring, expense cards and accounting export for construction crews. The latest release shows accounting-system project numbers and team member IDs everywhere in the app and in search, pulled from whichever integration the admin picks. The September releases filled in the money side: plain-English overtime rules, any-US-bank card funding, in-place fixes for declined merchants and a Sage 100 Contractor export.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release removes a manual step between field data and the books. Job numbers now match payroll, declines get fixed on the transaction, and exports are scoped per team so prevailing-wage crews don't lock each other's records. Alongside this, the AI layer (Time Assistant, the natural-language overtime builder) is moving from admins to managers and from answering questions to drafting configuration.
◆ Prediction
The next likely release is more accounting-side mapping, such as cost codes or other IDs synced from integrations, since project numbers just became integration-driven and Sage export landed for expenses.
