New in Fountain: Smarter sourcing, richer pools, and more Hire Go tools
Cue Tip: This week's release highlights smarter channel recommendations in Source — use Cue to spot at-risk openings and get a prioritized action plan.
Copy/paste this prompt into Cue:
Across all active openings, identify which are most at risk based on funnel health (applicant volume, conversion drop-offs, time-in-stage). For each at-risk opening, share (1) the top 1–2 reasons (with key numbers) and (2) the top 3 actions to take this week. Sort by highest risk first.
Release Highlights
We've introduced 12 updates across Sourcing, ATS, CRM, Platform, and Candidate AI Agent focused on smarter sourcing, richer talent pool management, and expanded Hire Go capabilities.
Sourcing
Smarter channel recommendations – the engine uses real CPA data before suggesting any channel, producing fewer but more defensible suggestions.
2000+ job boards in Source – recruiters can now access an expanded catalog of job boards directly in the posting flow.
ATS
Print applicant details from Hire Go – export a formatted PDF of an applicant's profile on demand for in-person interviews.
View, sort, and filter applicants by applicant data – rolling out: Hire Go's Applicants table now supports custom columns and filtering on any applicant data key.
Live video interviews in Hire Go – coming soon: hiring managers join live video interviews directly from Hire Go with post-interview follow-up built in.
Years of experience field in Hire – coming soon: a new Minimum Years of Experience field on Opening Details carries through to job postings.
CRM
Pool audience stage filtering and detail – audiences can now be scoped to a Hire application stage, and each audience has a new detail page with flow, member, and campaign history.
Pool lead capture via public form and QR code – prospects can self-enroll in a talent pool without completing a job application.
Pool campaign builder upgrades – preview campaigns read-only, track unsubscribes, use an HTML editor, and avoid mid-send audience accidents.
Pool audience inline filtering – coming soon: the filter drawer is replaced by a real-time inline filter bar that decouples exploration from audience creation.
Platform
Cross EIN rehiring – coming soon: rehire matching respects legal entity boundaries across multiple EINs.
Candidate AI Agent
Streamlined knowledge base setup – coming soon: the knowledge base editor starts with direct editing, with AI assistance available on demand.
These updates help teams fill roles faster, build more precise talent pools, and give hiring managers better tools to act on the right candidates across sourcing, hiring, and CRM workflows.
Sourcing | Smarter channel recommendations for at-risk openings
The recommendation engine now checks for a real applicant deficit before surfacing any recommendation, uses first-party CPA data where available, and includes a specific budget and campaign duration with each suggestion.
Availability: Available to all Source customers.
Sourcing | 2000+ job boards in Source
Recruiters can now access a catalog of 2000+ job boards directly within the Source posting flow. A new Job Boards step lets teams search, browse by category, and surface boards by relevance. The existing six direct integrations are fully unchanged.
Availability: Available to all Source customers. Requires enablement by Fountain — contact your Customer Success team to get started.
ATS | Print applicant details from Hire Go
A Print Applicant Details button is now available on the applicant profile in Hire Go. The exported PDF includes workflow question answers organized by stage, submitted files, and optional recruiter notes.

ATS | Live video interviews in Hire Go
Coming soon: admins can configure a live video scheduler stage for Hire Go workflows. Hiring managers join interviews from Hire Go and record attendance, notes, and a hiring decision after the interview.

ATS | View, sort, and filter applicants by applicant data in Hire Go
Hire Go's Applicants table now supports custom column selection, filtering, and sorting on any applicant data key — letting hiring managers surface the right candidates without opening individual profiles.
