Flatchr

What Flatchr does

Flatchr International SAS is a French SaaS vendor operating a cloud-based Applicant Tracking System (ATS) targeted at small and mid-sized businesses (PME) and mid-market enterprises (ETI) in France. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, the platform is designed around a "distributed recruitment" model in which HR teams pilot the process while operational managers hire autonomously within defined frameworks, supported by AI features and a mobile application for field managers. Core technology is delivered on Google Cloud Platform and CleverCloud in ISO 27001 certified data centers, with a REST API, SSO, webhooks, and integrations to over 40 HR tools including PeopleSpheres and Eurécia.

The product surface centers on the Flatchr ATS — multi-diffusion to 160+ jobboards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Google for Jobs), CVthèque talent pool, Cooptation employee referrals, Site Carrière branded career pages, collaborative evaluation, reporting, and a mobile app — with an add-on Flatchr AI module (launched 2024) that adds Flatchr Fit CV matching, auto-tagging, and AI-generated job descriptions. The company makes money through recurring SaaS subscriptions billed annually, with pricing adapted to company size and module selection on a quote basis, alongside an indirect channel through a partner program offering revenue sharing, training via Flatchr Academy, and dedicated support.

Go-to-market is sales-led (direct demos, inside sales, and account management) complemented by partner referrals, content marketing, paid search, and an active social presence; customer support is promised in under five minutes from a French-based team. Flatchr reports 3,000+ recruiters, 8,000 field teams and 25,000 employees on the platform, a 4.7/5 rating over 75+ reviews, a 95% renewal rate, and a customer roster spanning automotive (Stellantis, Toyota, Coyote), retail (Lunettes Pour Tous, Homebox, Du Pareil au Mêmes), hospitality (Beaumier), F&B (Pokawa, Thiriet), insurance (Generali), government (Meteo France), telecom (Coriolis), healthcare (Sevetys), and logistics (Glass Express). Compliance posture includes ISO 27001 hosting, GDPR/CCPA, SOC2-aligned infrastructure, CNIL declaration, and French data residency.
