The company was experiencing bottlenecks in the hiring funnel, with applicants often sitting idle between the data collection stage and the background check, or dropping off altogether.

Solution	The company implemented Fountain, a talent acquisition platform, to optimize its hiring process. The platform's drag-and-drop workflow editor allowed the company to rearrange their application stages without involving IT. The qualification stage was moved to appear only after the applicant pool had been refined to a qualified candidate list. The company also integrated Fountain's open API with partner Checkr to run background checks after applicants were approved. This led to a significant reduction in talent acquisition cost. The company also moved the data collection stage to the front of the pipeline to collect more applicant information upfront. Fountain's features of bulk edits and cloning stages enabled the company to manage their unique workflows and adjust them based on regional requirements as they grew. The company also transitioned to virtual interviews, with Fountain consolidating video interviews onto one platform and allowing for asynchronous video recordings. Read More Log in to view content
