Fountain launched Pool and Source, two new capabilities within the company’s Frontline OS that combines talent rediscovery and sourcing optimization within a single operating system.
“Frontline employers face pressure to hire qualified workers quickly and efficiently,” says Sean Behr, CEO of Fountain. “Unfortunately, they too often overspend on postings for new hires and overlook talent found within their own systems. Pool and Source use AI to tap these workers and optimize the best hiring channels, making them a key part of our operating system that manages the entire worker journey. We’re setting the new standard for AI-enhanced hiring efficiency that provides measurable results for both employers and their employees.”
Key takeaways:
· Pool and Source expands the applications layer of Frontline OS to cover the earliest stages of hiring, and integrate with hire, shift and referrals that all connect into various intelligence and agentic AI layers run through the company’s Copilot, which is powered in part by Anthropic’s Claude.
· Pool extracts value from the databases by using AI to sift through the candidates to identify and contact strong potential hires.
· Key Pool features include CRM-style unified talent database uses AI to score and match candidates; AI agents automatically re-engage with workers through email and SMS; and personalizes communication through AI-drafted messages.
· Source is a complement to Pool that unifies every sourcing channel into a centralized place, and then uses AI to ensure those related budgets are focused on generating the optimal results. It offers real-time performance tracking across channels and intelligently flags underperforming openings so hiring teams can act quickly and with confidence.
“Pool and Source integrate into Frontline OS to give companies a complete hiring operating system run with intelligent decisioning and agentic AI,” says Salim Jernite, chief product officer at Fountain. “Our AI tools enable hiring teams to make practical and impactful decisions to quickly find qualified candidates and then automate the entire hiring process.”
