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 Workable?

Workable's hiring agent maps AI decisions to human disqualification taxonomy, closing the reporting gap

Workable is integrating its AI hiring agent deeper into the ATS data model. Agent scores now persist across all pipeline stages, agent-candidate conversations are readable in a side panel without downloading a file, and — most significantly — the agent's auto-disqualification reasons now map to the account's own disqualification categories, making AI and human decisions interchangeable in reporting. Alongside this, the ADP Workforce Now NextGen connector launched on the same timeline as ADP's platform rollout to mid-market customers.

Miter vs Workable: 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.

Workable's hiring agent maps AI decisions to human disqualification taxonomy, closing the reporting gap

◆ Current state

Workable is integrating its AI hiring agent deeper into the ATS data model. Agent scores now persist across all pipeline stages, agent-candidate conversations are readable in a side panel without downloading a file, and — most significantly — the agent's auto-disqualification reasons now map to the account's own disqualification categories, making AI and human decisions interchangeable in reporting. Alongside this, the ADP Workforce Now NextGen connector launched on the same timeline as ADP's platform rollout to mid-market customers.

◆ Where it's heading

Workable is building toward a hiring pipeline where AI decisions are structurally indistinguishable from human ones in the reporting and audit layers — same disqualification categories, same pipeline visibility, same scoring columns. The international push (nine candidate languages, French/Danish/Dutch UI) tracks European market expansion where localization is a procurement requirement. LinkedIn job promotion now sold in-app signals increasing investment in the distribution layer alongside the evaluation layer.

◆ Prediction

The next move is likely agent-driven multi-stage advancement based on configurable score thresholds, and possibly agent-managed offer letter generation. The Ideal Candidate Profile edit-and-re-evaluate feature sets up a feedback loop that could evolve into automated ICP refinement based on hiring outcomes.
