Bottom line
Martian Logic suits Australian and New Zealand independent schools and mid-market employers that want requisitions, an ATS, onboarding and award payroll on one employee record. It is sold by quote per organization, based on the modules chosen and headcount, and setup is usually included.
Stands out for: Martian Logic tracks school and care compliance such as Working with Children Checks, police checks, VEVO and teacher accreditation. It connects to school systems including Veracross, Synergetic, TASS and FACTS, and runs award interpretation and Single Touch Payroll.
Watch out for: The $55,000 a year Core HR figure Martian Logic shows is a fictional ACME scenario, not a starting price, and real cost depends on modules and headcount. The product is an HRIS first, so agencies needing a sales CRM and client billing are a poor fit.
Overview
Martian Logic, founded in 2003 and based in North Sydney, sells an AI-native HRIS that puts Core HR, recruitment, onboarding, payroll, workforce management and LMS on one platform.
The recruitment module is a full ATS for in-house teams and agencies, with request-to-hire approval, branded job ads, a custom career site, screening templates and workflows that pass data into onboarding e-forms and then payroll or HR. Jobs post to Facebook, LinkedIn, SEEK, Monster and Career Builder.
Payroll includes an Award Interpretation Engine and Single Touch Payroll for AU and NZ hourly and salaried staff, or a hybrid setup that keeps an existing payroll system. Named payroll connections include Aurion, Preceda, Sage MicrOpay, MYOB PayGlobal, ADP, Xero, Definitiv and KeyPay. Compliance tracking covers Working with Children Checks, police checks, VEVO and teacher accreditation, and school systems include Veracross, Synergetic, TASS and FACTS.
AI drafts job descriptions, job ads and screening questions from speech or text, and AI Analytics answers plain-language workforce questions with charts.
Martian Logic does not publish a price list. It quotes per organization from configuration and headcount, across Recruitment plus Onboarding, full Core HR, or All-in-One, and setup is usually included. The $55,000 a year Core HR figure shown against a $75,000 ACME stack is a marketing example.
