Tanda deepens hiring automation and workforce intelligence with skills tracking and smarter HR triggers.

◆Current state
Tanda is a workforce management platform for shift-based businesses — rostering, payroll, and HR under one roof. The past week's releases show active investment across three fronts: its built-in ATS (Tanda Hire) is gaining auto-rejection logic, the HR module is acquiring a structured skills framework with roster-level integration, and payroll is keeping pace with Australian and NZ compliance changes. Shipping cadence is high, but the changes are narrow in scope.
◆Where it's heading
The clearest directional signal is the Employee Skills feature: by connecting a skills library to rostering (via the Roster Agent) and surfacing skill gap reports, Tanda is moving beyond scheduling toward workforce intelligence for hourly teams. The Hire features are complementary — auto-rejecting underqualified or underage candidates reduces manual screening overhead and tightens the hire-to-roster pipeline. Expect the skills data to feed back into hiring criteria over time.
◆Prediction
The Roster Agent skill integration suggests upcoming AI-driven rostering suggestions based on skill requirements and gaps — the data foundation is now in place. A logical next step is surfacing skill match scores during the Hire stage, closing the loop between recruiting and scheduling.

    Send HR Items after a Number of Worked Shifts

    Adds a shift-count trigger to Tanda's HR template engine, so forms, training, and performance reviews can fire automatically after an employee hits a configured number of worked shifts. This extends the platform's automation coverage beyond calendar-based triggers, fitting the pattern of Tanda building a richer event model for workforce workflows.

    Junior Rate Phase-Out Automated for Retail, Fast Food, and Pharmacy Awards

    Automates the Fair Work Commission's junior rate phase-out for three modern awards (retail, fast food, pharmacy) in Tanda's Managed Award Templates, effective December 2026. For businesses on managed templates, this compliance change lands without manual award adjustments — a meaningful reduction in payroll risk for Australian retailers using Tanda's pre-built award setup.

    Bulk HR Document Importer

    Enables bulk import of employee HR documents via a single zip file, with Tanda auto-sorting them to the correct file type and employee profile. The primary use case is migration from another system, but it also speeds up routine document uploads. It fits Tanda's ongoing build-out of HR document management as a reason to consolidate more of the employee lifecycle in the platform.

    Single-Day Quick Availability Changes

    Adds a tap shortcut in the Tanda mobile app for adjusting availability on a single day, without changing the underlying availability system. Useful for workers who frequently make one-off availability changes, but it's a UX shortcut over existing functionality.

    Automatic Rejection for Screening Question Answers (Tanda Hire)

    Tanda Hire can now auto-reject applicants who give the wrong answer on a required screening question, with the disqualifying response highlighted on the candidate profile. This reduces manual pipeline filtering for businesses with hard disqualifiers (e.g., specific licensing, availability windows) and builds toward a more autonomous ATS within the workforce platform.

    Hire: Minimum Age Rejection Criteria

    Adds a minimum age gate to Tanda Hire job ads, automatically rejecting applicants who are younger than the configured threshold. Straightforward compliance and filtering feature for age-restricted roles in hospitality and retail — consistent with the broader push to reduce manual screening in the hiring workflow.
