Deputy vs Workable

Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.

Deputy logo5.0

Deputy leans into Australian payroll compliance and tighter pay-data access.

◆ Current state

Deputy's readable recent moves are payroll and permissions: PayDay Super support for Australian employers and new controls over who can see pay rates and costs. Beyond those two, the tracked feed is degraded, with several recent 'entries' being scrape artifacts that carry no real title or content ('newImprovement ... 28/04/2026'). The true shipping picture is partly hidden by this crawl noise.

◆ Where it's heading

What's legible points at compliance and access-control hardening for regulated payroll markets across AU, UK, and US enterprise. The recurring theme is trust: who can see sensitive pay data and meeting statutory reporting rules. The feed-quality problem should be fixed before reading much into cadence.

◆ Prediction

Likely continued Australian payroll-compliance work around PayDay Super, plus more granular role and permission controls. Confidence is limited by the number of unparseable entries in the feed.

Workable logo6.3

◆ Current state

Workable is running two plays at once: an agentic layer that works the top of the hiring funnel, and a steady buildout of reporting depth across recruiting and HR. The Workable Agent is now generally available and moved to per-candidate credit pricing, while a run of new reports (offer funnels, headcount evolution, attendance) turn lifecycle data the platform already holds into decision views.

◆ Where it's heading

The center of gravity is shifting from ATS-of-record toward an outcome layer that both acts (the Agent sourcing and screening) and measures (funnel and headcount analytics). Recent releases lean heavily on the Enterprise reporting surface — shared custom reports, a widget builder, offer datasets — suggesting Workable wants analytics to be a paid differentiator, not a checkbox. The SEEK Profile tie-in and the MCP server point to a product that increasingly pulls in outside data and outside tools.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Agent's credit model to expand deeper into the funnel (scheduling, later-stage screening) and the Enterprise reporting datasets to keep growing, given the cadence of report-builder additions in the entries shown.
