Flatchr turns the dormant CV library into a ranked shortlist for every open offer.

Flatchr vs Tanda: 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.

T7.5

Tanda ships a dense cluster of payroll accuracy and reporting improvements aimed at Australian compliance depth.

◆ Current state

Tanda is an Australian-market workforce management platform covering scheduling, timesheets, payroll, and recruiting (Tanda Hire). The product ships at high cadence with a strong compliance focus — AU award management, contractor tax details, Fair Work Commission alignment — alongside UX polish for payroll teams and line managers. Recent releases cluster around payroll data accuracy, reporting flexibility, and white-labeling for B2B use cases.

◆ Where it's heading

Tanda is filling out its existing surface rather than making directional moves. The Hire module is expanding (talent pools, multi-SEEK integrations) in parallel with core payroll depth, suggesting a push toward a complete HR stack for Australian SMBs rather than a best-of-breed point solution. No AI or agentic features are visible in recent releases; the investment is in compliance breadth and data accuracy at the edges of the payroll process.

◆ Prediction

The most likely next move is continued Australian award compliance automation — more managed templates tracking the Fair Work Commission's multi-year phase-in decisions — and further Hire module buildout to reduce recruiter reliance on a separate ATS.
