Fountain

Frontline workforce management for high-volume hourly hiring.

Visit Fountain

Fountain is a platform for hiring and managing frontline and hourly workers, covering the process from application through start date and ongoing shift coverage. It addresses the needs of high-volume hourly hiring, which differs from salaried knowledge-worker recruitment, and supports sourcing, applicant tracking, CRM, onboarding, and shift scheduling in one system.

The suite includes Source, CRM, ATS, Onboarding, and Shift & Scheduling modules. AI agents named Anna (AI Recruiter), Emma (AI 24/7 Support), and Sam (AI Satisfaction) handle candidate screening, applicant questions, and feedback, while a central agent called Cue coordinates these workflows across the lifecycle. Integrations connect to HR, background check, assessment, document signing, and job advertising systems, including SAP SuccessFactors, Checkr, DocuSign, and Indeed. Security features include SOC 2 compliance, role-based access, and traceable decision logging.

Fountain is aimed at recruiters, talent acquisition teams, and operations leaders in industries such as retail, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, healthcare, delivery, and food service. The platform is offered through demos, with no free plan or trial stated on these pages.
