What is Workable?
Workable pairs an agentic hiring funnel with a fast-maturing analytics layer.
Workable is an established recruiting and HR platform now advancing on two fronts at once. It moved the Workable Agent to general availability — an AI that sources, screens, and shortlists at the top of the funnel — and opened its data to external assistants through an MCP server. Alongside that, a steady run of reporting work (offer funnels, attendance, shareable custom reports) is deepening the analytics layer HR teams lean on to justify decisions.
What is Tanda?
Tanda ships steady workforce and AU-payroll features, plus a Shopify POS integration
Tanda is filling in workforce-management and Australian payroll details: onboarding reminders, bulk staff reactivation, digital parental consent for underage staff, a new Shopify POS integration, contractor super from external payables, STP finalisation preview improvements, a consecutive-days-off roster validation, and automatic application of the 2026-27 award wage increases and tax cut.

Workable
6.3HR
Workable pairs an agentic hiring funnel with a fast-maturing analytics layer.
◆ Current state
Workable is an established recruiting and HR platform now advancing on two fronts at once. It moved the Workable Agent to general availability — an AI that sources, screens, and shortlists at the top of the funnel — and opened its data to external assistants through an MCP server. Alongside that, a steady run of reporting work (offer funnels, attendance, shareable custom reports) is deepening the analytics layer HR teams lean on to justify decisions.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is an AI-native ATS where the Agent does first-pass candidate work and the reporting layer explains the outcomes. Per-credit pricing on the Agent points to usage-based monetization of AI rather than a flat tier. Reporting is shifting from personal views toward shared, permission-aware ones, suggesting Workable wants analytics to be a team surface rather than an individual export.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Agent to push deeper down the funnel — scheduling, offers, candidate engagement — and more shareable, collaborative reporting; further per-credit AI capabilities are the likely monetization path.
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda ships steady workforce and AU-payroll features, plus a Shopify POS integration
◆ Current state
Tanda is filling in workforce-management and Australian payroll details: onboarding reminders, bulk staff reactivation, digital parental consent for underage staff, a new Shopify POS integration, contractor super from external payables, STP finalisation preview improvements, a consecutive-days-off roster validation, and automatic application of the 2026-27 award wage increases and tax cut.
◆ Where it's heading
The work clusters around compliance-heavy AU payroll and award interpretation (STP, super, tax tables, award templates) alongside incremental onboarding and rostering polish. Tanda is deepening its value for award-governed, shift-based employers rather than opening a new product line; the Shopify POS link is the one outward integration expansion.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued AU compliance automation (award updates, STP, super edge cases) and more POS/HR integrations. The availability-request consolidation is flagged as rolling out next. No directional pivot is visible.
