Flatchr + The Cognitive Integration
The Cognitive integrates with Flatchr so AI interviewing and sourcing run alongside the workflow French employers hiring for frontline and field roles already use: you import active candidates from the Flatchr stage you choose, invite them to a live AI interview, and write each score, summary and report link back to the candidate as a note. Of The Cognitive's 60+ ATS integrations, Flatchr is one, connected from the dashboard through one unified integration. Stage moves and decisions stay in Flatchr; the integration only reads candidates and writes notes.
What does the Flatchr integration do?
- Import from a stage: pick the Flatchr stage to import active candidates from, run a sync, and they arrive in The Cognitive ready to invite.
- Note write-back: for imported candidates who have interviewed, the score, a summary and the report link are written back to Flatchr as a note, where Flatchr accepts notes through the integration.
- Your decisions stay in Flatchr: the integration never changes a candidate's stage and never rejects anyone.
- Beyond your applicants: The Cognitive's sourcing reaches ~900M public profiles, so the people you interview are not limited to Flatchr applicants.
- Reports for field managers: each imported Flatchr applicant who interviews gets a note with the score, summary and report link.
- No parallel system of record: Flatchr stays the source of truth; The Cognitive adds the interview and evidence layer.
The Cognitive in a Flatchr workflow
Flatchr describes itself as "l'outil de recrutement version terrain" (our translation: "the recruitment tool, field edition", flatchr.io, read on 3 October 2026), built for HR to steer while site managers recruit. The Cognitive adds a live, two-way AI video interview that a store or site manager can read as a report instead of running every first call.
Flatchr users usually import from the stage where a local manager would otherwise phone each applicant.
Field roles get many applicants and the manager hiring for them has a shop or a site to run. Inviting the imported applicants to a 10 or 20 minute AI interview, which they book themselves, gives that manager a scored report per person, and HR still moves the candidate in Flatchr.
How does candidate sourcing get into Flatchr?
That is the gap The Cognitive's AI sourcing fills. A search brief written in plain English runs across ~900M public profiles with contact details enriched from 30+ sources; the role becomes a durable role pool that keeps everyone each search finds. Each candidate a search returns costs 1 credit, an email reveal 5 and a phone number 10, charged only on a successful reveal, so browsing a search result is cheap and only the shortlist you act on is not. People you source stay in The Cognitive's role pool and are not written into Flatchr automatically; you decide who to interview and who to add to Flatchr yourself.
Frontline roles in a tight local market often need people who are not browsing job boards that week. The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles by role and location, and sourced people are added to Flatchr only when HR chooses to.
How does setup work?
- 1. Connect: from The Cognitive dashboard, pick Flatchr in the integration window and authorize it with your Flatchr admin credentials.
- 2. Pick the source stage: tell The Cognitive which Flatchr stage to import active candidates from.
- 3. Use it: a sync brings candidates in, you invite them, and finished interviews go back to Flatchr as notes with the score and report link.
- Your team keeps every stage move and decision in Flatchr; the integration reads candidates and writes notes, nothing more.
Why teams add The Cognitive to their ATS
Tracking candidates is what Flatchr does; finding and evaluating them is the gap The Cognitive fills. Search ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief, then invite the people you pick, or the applicants you import from Flatchr, to a live AI interview that books itself into their calendar. AI Sourcing starts at $49/month and AI Interview at $99/month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Flatchr have AI interviews?
Flatchr's site does not describe an AI interview (flatchr.io, read on 3 October 2026). Its AI compares each CV with the requirements in your job ad, suggests past candidates from your CV database and writes job ads. The Cognitive adds a live, two-way AI video interview of 10 or 20 minutes in 9 languages, and the invitation tells candidates it is run by AI.
Does Flatchr source candidates outside your applicants?
Yes, by import. Flatchr lets you bring a profile in from Google Chrome or LinkedIn in a few clicks, flags duplicates, and multiposts to 160+ job boards (flatchr.io, read on 3 October 2026). The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles by role and location from a plain-English brief, and sourced people are added to Flatchr only when HR chooses to.
Does Flatchr reject candidates with AI?
No. Flatchr says its CV analysis neither selects nor rules out any profile, and that you stay in control while it shows which criteria each CV meets (our translation, flatchr.io, read on 3 October 2026). The Cognitive follows the same line: nothing is rejected automatically, integrity flags are logged rather than scored, and HR still moves every candidate in Flatchr.
Does The Cognitive integrate with Flatchr?
Yes. The Cognitive imports active candidates from the Flatchr stage you choose, you invite them to a live AI interview, and the score, summary and report link go back to Flatchr as a note. It is one of The Cognitive's 60+ ATS integrations.
Can The Cognitive source candidates into Flatchr?
The Cognitive sources candidates alongside Flatchr: it searches ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief and enriches contact details from 30+ sources. Sourced people stay in The Cognitive's role pool and are not written into Flatchr automatically. Search results cost 1 credit per candidate returned; an email reveal costs 5 credits and a phone number 10, charged only on a successful reveal.
Which Flatchr stage should feed AI interviews?
Flatchr users usually import from the stage where a local manager would otherwise phone each applicant. You choose the source stage in The Cognitive, each role can use its own rubric, and every decision after the interview stays with your team in Flatchr.
Do I need engineering help to connect Flatchr?
Not for the connection itself. An Flatchr admin signs in through The Cognitive's integration window and chooses the stage to import candidates from.
