Fountain

HR
Velocity7.5

Fountain is wiring AI agents across the hourly-hiring lifecycle, from sourcing to retention.

recruitingai-agentssourcingattributionretentionhourly-hiring
◆Current state
Fountain runs two parallel build-outs: an agent layer (Cue for recommendations, the Candidate AI Agent, and now Sam for post-hire satisfaction) and a sourcing-and-attribution stack centered on Source. Recent releases lean on closing the loop between ad spend and actual hires, and on extending automation past the point of hire into worker retention.
◆Where it's heading
The product is expanding its AI agents from the front of the funnel toward the back: onboarding check-ins, satisfaction, and rehiring logic. Source is maturing into a full media-buying surface with channel-level cost data and server-to-server attribution. Expect agents to own more of each lifecycle stage and sourcing to become a spend-accountable channel.
◆Prediction
Sam graduates from coming-soon to general availability, and Fountain ties its satisfaction signals back into rehiring and sourcing decisions to close the retention loop.

    New in Source | Source for openings without a hiring goal

    Sourcing performance data — spend, cost per applicant, channel activity — now surfaces at the opening level without requiring an active hiring goal. Extends Source's analytics to exploratory, always-on sourcing, fitting the push to make sourcing a measurable channel.

    New in Sam (Talent Agents) | Sam — satisfaction manager agent

    ⚡ SPARK

    Sam pushes Fountain's agent strategy past hiring into retention, proactively checking in with workers at Day 1/7/30 and collecting structured feedback. The clearest sign the company wants agents owning the full lifecycle, not just the funnel.

    Coming Soon in Source | Contract flow support in Source

    Source will let employers post through their own contracted job-board agreements, opening access to 3,000+ boards inside the posting flow. Broadens distribution and deepens Source as the central posting surface.

    New in Source | S2S conversion tracking for Talroo campaigns

    Server-to-server conversion tracking for Talroo ties downstream hire events back to ad campaigns, sharpening the spend-to-hire attribution Fountain is building across Source.

    New in Fountain: Smarter sourcing, richer pools, and more Hire Go tools

    An earlier roundup centered on smarter channel recommendations and at-risk-opening alerts via Cue, plus Hire Go tooling. Incremental but consistent with the agent-assisted-sourcing direction.
