Our take

Companies regularly struggle with recruitment, spending valuable time and resources on sourcing candidates, interviewing them, and analyzing job eligibility. Applications are processed through antiquated job board systems and require additional lengthy processes such as paperwork signing, background checks, and training - ultimately presenting a need for innovation in the recruitment processes.

Fountain provides a data-driven recruitment and candidate management platform for businesses, allowing them to leverage their data to identify recruitment inefficiencies, and automate interviewing, hiring, and post-hire workflows. The company provides bespoke solutions for industries such as hospitality, healthcare, and retail, integrating its technology within industry-specific software and communication formats to make the recruitment experience easier for prospective employees and employers.

Whilst it faces competition from other automation-driven recruitment platforms, Fountain stands out by improving the recruitment process for both employees and employers, helping to reduce communication and processing speeds for both parties. Through this approach, the company claims that it can increase recruitment scope, speed up recruitment processes, and help companies to hire the best candidates for their hiring goals. In 2023 it released conversational AI tools for frontline workforce management, and Fountain Onboard and Fountain Compliance, utilising developments in the machine learning space.

Company values

  • Inform - Being a remote-first company, communication is vital to the success of our work. We believe it is our responsibility to make information about team goals, work-streams and initiatives available for all Fountaineers to view, as well as understand how our work impacts other teams and engage the right people in the process.
  • Trust - We believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As such, we trust the decisions other Fountaineers make and empower each other by providing continuous, thoughtful feedback. We assume positive intent and always default to a “disagree and commit 100%” mindset.
  • Run - As owners, we share a common duty for our customers and fellow Fountaineers: make Fountain as successful as possible. This duty will not be realized by inaction or lack of initiative or executional focus. We challenge ourselves, and others, to persist in finding solutions and getting things done.
