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 HavaHR?

HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.

HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.

Flatchr vs HavaHR: 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.

H0.0

HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.

◆ Current state

HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.

◆ Where it's heading

The v1.2.1 release reveals where HavaHR is heading: it wants to be the payroll tool layer for AI developer workflows. By shipping an MCP server that installs via a single npx command and runs in seven AI environments (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed), HavaHR is betting that its payroll data becomes queryable from wherever the developer already works rather than requiring a separate UI context switch.

◆ Prediction

Expect MCP capability depth to grow — the v1.2.1 push into seven environments is a distribution move, not an experiment. Watch for payroll query tools, payslip generation, and leave-balance lookups as next additions to the MCP server.
