What is Miter?

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

What is Teamtailor?

Teamtailor's Co-pilot is quietly automating the full recruiting pipeline, one trigger at a time.

Teamtailor has expanded well beyond a standard ATS into a platform where AI handles candidate intake, data collection, screening, and stage routing with minimal recruiter input. The Co-pilot layer now covers agentic workflows — requesting missing info, re-screening at any stage, detecting prompt injection in resumes — alongside a fresh MCP integration that opens the platform to external AI orchestration. The candidate surface has also broadened: WhatsApp messaging, group meeting improvements, and onboarding video support show a product filling in every communication and handoff gap.

Miter vs Teamtailor: editorial side-by-side

M3.8

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

◆ Current state

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

◆ Where it's heading

The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.

T6.3

Teamtailor's Co-pilot is quietly automating the full recruiting pipeline, one trigger at a time.

◆ Current state

Teamtailor has expanded well beyond a standard ATS into a platform where AI handles candidate intake, data collection, screening, and stage routing with minimal recruiter input. The Co-pilot layer now covers agentic workflows — requesting missing info, re-screening at any stage, detecting prompt injection in resumes — alongside a fresh MCP integration that opens the platform to external AI orchestration. The candidate surface has also broadened: WhatsApp messaging, group meeting improvements, and onboarding video support show a product filling in every communication and handoff gap.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern across the last six months is consistent: Teamtailor is building toward a recruiting pipeline where the recruiter sets rules once and Co-pilot executes them end-to-end. Each release either expands what Co-pilot can trigger autonomously (information requests, screening re-runs, smart moves) or opens the platform to external agents via MCP. Onboarding and communication features are expanding in parallel, suggesting the product ambition is the full employee lifecycle from application to first week — not just the hiring funnel.

◆ Prediction

The most likely next move is Co-pilot-driven interview scheduling — the last high-friction manual step before offer — possibly using the MCP channel to coordinate with calendar tools like Google Calendar or Calendly without leaving the platform.
