What is Flatchr?
Flatchr turns the dormant CV library into a ranked shortlist for every open offer.
Flatchr is shipping across four fronts. The newest, Suggest IA, reads the customer's existing CV library and returns the candidates best matched to an open offer, ranked by a correspondence index, with the back catalogue syncing progressively while new applications are indexed on arrival. Around it sit Flatchr Skills for candidate assessment, an administration space for toggling AI features and steering job-offer generation, self-serve seat purchase for monthly plans, and a recruitment-authorization workflow that external approvers can complete by email.
What is Tanda?
Agents keep landing in Tanda, but the compliance engine is still the product.
Tanda ships several times a week into Australian and New Zealand workforce management, and the last fortnight splits cleanly in two. One half is statutory machinery: midnight-to-midnight daily overtime in award rules, child employment law as automatic roster validation, and a rewrite of how child support deductions are referenced in the ABA file. The other half is automation of the payroll run itself - draft pay runs created on a schedule, payslips emailed on posting, super batches created automatically.

Flatchr
6.3HR
Flatchr turns the dormant CV library into a ranked shortlist for every open offer.
◆ Current state
Flatchr is shipping across four fronts. The newest, Suggest IA, reads the customer's existing CV library and returns the candidates best matched to an open offer, ranked by a correspondence index, with the back catalogue syncing progressively while new applications are indexed on arrival. Around it sit Flatchr Skills for candidate assessment, an administration space for toggling AI features and steering job-offer generation, self-serve seat purchase for monthly plans, and a recruitment-authorization workflow that external approvers can complete by email.
◆ Where it's heading
Flatchr has been closing loops that used to end in someone's inbox — approvals chase themselves, seats are bought without a call — and separately widening what the ATS does. Suggest IA is the widest move yet: the product now acts before anyone applies, which makes stored CVs an asset rather than an archive. Read with Fit's summaries and Skills' assessment scores, ranking is becoming Flatchr's organising idea, applied first to applicants, then to evaluation, now to the database itself. Note that the feed's titles arrive with broken emoji encoding and the content is translated from French.
◆ Prediction
Expect Suggest IA's correspondence index to appear as a filter or sort in the dashboard currently in beta, and expect it to land under the AI configuration page's toggles like Fit and automatic tagging before it becomes default behaviour.
Tanda
7.5HR
Agents keep landing in Tanda, but the compliance engine is still the product.
◆ Current state
Tanda ships several times a week into Australian and New Zealand workforce management, and the last fortnight splits cleanly in two. One half is statutory machinery: midnight-to-midnight daily overtime in award rules, child employment law as automatic roster validation, and a rewrite of how child support deductions are referenced in the ABA file. The other half is automation of the payroll run itself - draft pay runs created on a schedule, payslips emailed on posting, super batches created automatically.
◆ Where it's heading
The agent programme that began with the Automatic Rostering Agent in May now has a fourth and fifth surface - candidate ranking in Hire, and a Widget Creator Agent that builds dashboard widgets from a written description. Each new agent covers another module rather than deepening the first, so the pattern is breadth across the suite, not depth in one place. Underneath it, the compliance catalogue keeps growing at its own steady rate, which is what actually keeps the product hard to displace in this market.
◆ Prediction
The Widget Creator Agent is currently limited to Cost, Workforce, and Time and Attendance reports, so the near-term move is extending it to the remaining report families. Expect the child employment rollout, explicitly described as gradual, to reach general availability next.
