Compono vs Martian Logic
Two Australian platforms solving different problems. Martian Logic (formerly MyRecruitment+) is a single-platform HRIS spanning recruitment, onboarding, org chart, payroll and learning. Compono is a talent intelligence platform that measures your people and culture, then puts that data behind hiring and development decisions. Here's the honest breakdown.
Last reviewed July 2026 · All comparisons
An applicant tracking system earns its keep. If you hire at any volume you need requisitions, pipelines, approvals and job advertising in one place, and the good ATSs handle that with little friction. What an ATS can't do is tell you whether the person you're about to hire will succeed. Most screen on keywords and CV history, which is how teams end up running a tidy process and still making wrong hires. One more thing worth knowing before you compare brands: some ATSs are pure-play recruitment tools, others are modules inside an HRIS, and the difference shows in depth.
The full picture: ATS vs HRIS: which should run your hiring?
The short answer
Choose Martian Logic if you want
- One locally built system consolidating ATS, onboarding, org chart, employee records, payroll and LMS
- Australian compliance handled natively: police checks, VEVO work-rights checks and single-touch payroll
- Vertical depth in K-12 schools and health and aged care, with school-specific hiring content
Choose Compono if you want
- Hiring decisions backed by behavioural science in Compono Hire
- Culture and climate measurement read alongside 8 validated work personalities, not a generic survey module
- Capability and competency covered too: Develop links learning to measured gaps, Assure handles credentialling
Side by side
| Martian Logic | Compono | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform focus | Process infrastructure: a single HRIS spanning recruitment, onboarding, records, compliance, payroll and LMS | Workforce intelligence: hiring, engagement, capability and competency built on behavioural science |
| Hiring and candidate assessment | ATS with job multi-posting, request-to-hire workflow and recorded video interviews | Compono Hire matches candidates to role and culture |
| Onboarding and org design | Onboarding and off-boarding workflows; org chart is a first-class module driving hiring and employment-change workflows | Onboarding sits inside Hire; team insight comes from work-personality composition, not the org chart alone |
| Behavioural and work-personality assessment | No published behavioural, psychometric or culture-fit capability (checked against public materials, July 2026) | 8 validated work personalities (Doer, Auditor, Helper, Advisor, Pioneer, Campaigner, Evaluator, Coordinator) across candidates and teams |
| Engagement and culture | Employee surveys listed as a module; no published methodology or culture interpretation framework | Compono Engage measures culture and climate using validated organisational-psychology instruments |
| Best fit | Australian mid-market organisations, particularly K-12 schools and health and aged care, consolidating several point tools into one local system | Mid-market organisations (roughly 60-1,000 staff) that want people data driving hiring and development decisions |
| Home base | Australian, headquartered in North Sydney; founder-led, 20+ years in market | Australian, Brisbane-based; rated 4.8/5 on Capterra |
| Pricing | Not published; quote-based | Modular by products and employee count; talk to us for a straight number |

What Martian Logic does genuinely well
- Australian compliance plumbing built in. Native police checks, VEVO visa and work-rights checks and single-touch payroll sit inside the platform, which matters for local mid-market buyers.
- A consolidation pitch with real breadth. The platform genuinely spans recruitment through payroll; the company says it typically replaces 3 to 6 products, and its homepage case study cites replacing four products costing $75,000 a year with Martian Logic at $55,000.
- Vertical depth in K-12 schools and health. Martian Logic explicitly targets these industries, claims 100+ schools use the platform, and publishes school-specific hiring content.
- Org chart and employee self-service as first-class features. The org chart drives hiring and employment-change workflows, and reviewers have specifically praised employee-card self-population and multi-entity company support.
Where Compono differs
HR carries two kinds of risk. Process risk is admin, compliance and payroll going wrong, and Martian Logic is squarely built for it: records, workflows, checks and pay in one local system. People insight risk is the wrong hire, the disengaged team, the training that doesn't build capability. That risk needs measurement, and a workflow platform has no instrument for it.
Compono is built for the second risk. It measures your culture and climate, profiles every candidate against them with a validated 8-type work-personality framework, and connects development to measured capability gaps. The intelligence is about your people, not just your processes, so the decisions you make about them are ones you can defend.
More than a hiring tool
Everything above compares hiring capability, because that's the job an ATS is bought for. Compono Hire is one product on a shared people dataset: Engage measures the culture candidates are matched against, Develop builds capability where measurement says it's missing, and Assure handles competency and credentialling. That shared dataset is the difference: the culture you measure is the culture you hire against.

Talk to usFrequently asked questions
Is Compono a replacement for Martian Logic?
Only partly. Martian Logic covers payroll, compliance checks and workforce management, and Compono doesn't do payroll. The overlap is recruitment and onboarding, where the difference is behavioural science: Compono profiles candidates against your measured culture, while Martian Logic runs the workflow. If your core need is process consolidation, Martian Logic fits; if it's people insight, Compono does.
Does Martian Logic assess candidate fit or work personality?
Its ATS includes recorded video interviews, but as of July 2026 there is no published behavioural, psychometric or culture-fit capability in its public materials. Compono assesses every candidate against 8 validated work personalities and your measured culture.
Can Martian Logic measure culture and engagement?
It lists employee surveys as a module, but publishes no methodology, benchmark set or interpretation framework. Compono Engage measures culture and climate using validated organisational-psychology instruments and reads the results alongside your team's work-personality mix.
Are both platforms Australian?
Yes. Martian Logic is headquartered in North Sydney and Compono is Brisbane-based, so either way you're buying a locally built product from a local team.
