Coming Soon in Hire | updated application experience (AX 3.0)

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Fountain team

Give candidates the context they need before they apply.

Coming soon in Hire we’re introducing a redesigned application experience that gives candidates more context upfront and makes it easier to complete applications, especially for longer forms.

The new experience features a modern, full-page layout that surfaces key job details before the form and improves navigation throughout.

What’s new

  • Job details are now shown before the application form, including description, requirements, and role context

  • A new “job at a glance” section highlights key requirements when available

  • Cover images are now supported, with a brand fallback if none is set

  • A sticky Apply button keeps the call to action visible on longer applications

  • Improved navigation, including a back-to-top option

  • Updated language selector for a cleaner, more consistent experience

Why it matters

Candidates can better understand the role before starting the application, which can improve completion rates and reduce drop-off, especially for longer or more detailed applications.

What to expect

  • This is a visual and experience update only. Submission logic, workflows, and data fields are unchanged

  • Some job details that were previously not visible to applicants may now be displayed

  • Teams may want to review the following before rollout:

  • Cover images for open roles

  • Industry tag

  • “Job at a glance” content

Availability

Release type: New feature (pre-release)
This update will roll out in phases, starting with early access before becoming the default experience.

Enterprise accounts:

  • Available in sandbox starting April 30, 2026

  • Early access is limited during this phase and may be visible only on specific application links

  • Will move to production after a validation period

All customers:

  • Following the pre-release phase, the new application experience will be rolled out more broadly
