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 Workable?

Workable turns its report builder on interviews, assessments and video screens.

Workable is a recruiting platform growing a full HR suite around its applicant tracking. This week's releases are about reporting: every number in a report now opens the records behind it, referral reports count AI search and Chrome extension sources, widgets can be resized and viewed on a phone, and Enterprise custom reports gain Events, Assessments and Video interview data. Earlier in November came a reworked candidate profile and separate offer approval and delivery steps.

Flatchr vs Workable: editorial side-by-side

F6.3

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.

Workable logo5.0

Workable turns its report builder on interviews, assessments and video screens.

◆ Current state

Workable is a recruiting platform growing a full HR suite around its applicant tracking. This week's releases are about reporting: every number in a report now opens the records behind it, referral reports count AI search and Chrome extension sources, widgets can be resized and viewed on a phone, and Enterprise custom reports gain Events, Assessments and Video interview data. Earlier in November came a reworked candidate profile and separate offer approval and delivery steps.

◆ Where it's heading

After October's HR-suite additions and early-November recruiter workflow fixes, Workable is now making its hiring data answerable: who spends time interviewing, where assessments stall, which referral channels work. Most of the reporting depth sits on Enterprise plans, which suggests reporting is being used to pull larger customers up a tier.

◆ Prediction

More data sources in the custom report builder are likely, probably for offers and the AI Recruiting Agent's activity, since those are the recent features not yet reportable. Whether any of this reaches non-Enterprise plans is not stated.
