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