Employment Hero
Employment Hero is flooding the AI-in-HR content channel while its AI Recruitment Agent quietly goes live.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of TargetRecruit and Ever Gauzy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Salesforce-native ATS/CRM ships AI recruiting agents via Agentforce, then goes quiet.
TargetRecruit is a Salesforce-native ATS/CRM built for staffing and recruiting firms. Its differentiation is native Salesforce architecture rather than an integration layer. The most substantive recent release was AI Agents powered by Agentforce in May 2025, adding agentic recruiting workflows within the Salesforce ecosystem. The public changelog is a thought-leadership blog, not a feature release log, which makes tracking concrete capability changes difficult.
Ever Gauzy adds full payroll and leave management modules, integrates Ever Async workspaces — expanding from project tool to HR suite
v111.42.3 is a substantial release: it integrates tenant-owned Ever Async workspaces into Gauzy, ships a full payroll module (PayrollRun, PayrollItem entities with service layer), a full leave management module (time-off policies, official holidays, balance tracking), a redesigned HR dashboard, and the ability to switch a timesheet's project after creation. The MCP server fix in v111.42.5 makes tool input schemas JSON Schema compatible, enabling MCP tools/list to work correctly.

The product is moving toward Salesforce-native AI workflow automation, using Agentforce as the agent orchestration layer. Healthcare recruiting has been called out explicitly as a growth vertical. After the Agentforce launch, publication cadence has slowed significantly — either the feature set has stabilized or the go-to-market focus has shifted to embedded Salesforce sales motion rather than public content.
The next observable move is likely deeper Agentforce agent specialization — sourcing, screening, or scheduling agents tailored to healthcare and staffing verticals. Without a formal release changelog, this remains an inference from the Agentforce integration trajectory rather than documented roadmap evidence.

Ever Gauzy is systematically completing an HR suite on top of its project management foundation: payroll, leave management, and attendance tracking are now in place. The Ever Async workspace integration hints at a future where Gauzy manages the human side (time, pay, leave) while Ever Async handles real-time collaboration — a division of labor within the ever.co stack. The MCP server fix opens the platform to AI agent orchestration for HR data.
The MCP surface combined with the HR data model positions Gauzy for an 'AI HR assistant' feature — querying leave balances, approving timesheets, or generating payroll reports via an AI agent. Expect that surface to be announced once the MCP tool schemas stabilize.
