Fountain Product Release Notes

March 5, 2026

We’ve released several updates across Shift, Pool, Hire Go, and Referrals designed to help teams manage high-volume hiring and scheduling more efficiently.

These updates focus on reducing manual work for operators, improving recruitment marketing insights, and giving teams more flexibility when managing hiring programs.

Below is a summary of what’s new.

Shift

Faster scheduling with smart search and bulk actions

We’ve introduced several improvements to the Shift scheduling experience to help teams manage large or recurring schedules more efficiently.

Schedulers can now filter shifts by:

• Job
• Time
• Worker assignment
• Publishing status

These filters make it easier to locate specific shifts and manage schedules without manually scanning large calendars.

We’ve also introduced new bulk scheduling actions:

• Assign multiple unassigned shifts at once
• Copy shifts and paste them into future weeks to replicate recurring schedules

These improvements reduce repetitive scheduling work and help operations teams manage high-volume schedules more efficiently.

Edit campaign links directly in the campaign editor

You can now edit campaign links directly within the Pool campaign editor, making it faster to update URLs without rebuilding or duplicating campaigns.

Use applicant data keys to build more precise audiences

Pool audiences can now be filtered using applicant data keys, allowing teams to segment candidates based on information collected during the hiring process.

This makes it easier to create targeted audiences and send more relevant campaigns to specific candidate groups.

Referrals

Conditional referral incentives

We’ve introduced Conditional Referral Incentives, giving organizations more flexibility when designing referral programs.

Referral payouts can now vary based on attributes such as:

• Onboarding completion
• Compliance status
• Other applicant milestones

Referral reporting now also provides clearer visibility into:

• Incentive qualification criteria
• Conditional payout status

These updates help teams align referral programs with hiring goals while maintaining clear visibility into how incentives are earned.

Hire Go

Unified login across Fountain products

We’re introducing a simplified login experience for Hire Go.

With this update, Hire Go users will be able to access the product using the same credentials they use for other Fountain products, eliminating the need to manage separate logins.

What’s changing

• Hire Go users log in using the same credentials used across Fountain
• New users receive one unified invite instead of multiple product invitations
• The go.fountain.com login page redirects to the main Fountain login experience

This update simplifies access for teams using multiple Fountain products and reduces friction when inviting new hiring managers and operators.

Cleaner, simpler navigation across the platform

Starting in mid-March, we will begin rolling out improvements to the left-hand navigation to make it easier to find the tools you use most.

With this update:

• Frequently used product areas remain easily accessible in the main navigation
• Less frequently used items move into Settings
• Unused navigation items are removed

These changes simplify navigation across Fountain products and make it easier to move between workflows.
