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 Workyard?

Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts

Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.

Flatchr vs Workyard: 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.

W6.3

Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts

◆ Current state

Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is converging on eliminating manual data entry for field operations: the AI Time Assistant handles timecard cleanup, geofence-triggered forms handle compliance, Shortcuts handles crew clock-in, and integration exports handle payroll data transfer. Each new integration (Acumatica, Sage 100, QuickBooks) adds a payroll system that field hours can flow into without re-keying.

◆ Prediction

The Time Assistant will likely gain predictive capabilities — flagging anomalous time entries before payroll runs, not just correcting them after the fact. Expect more ERP integrations targeting mid-market construction companies.
