Frontline hiring breaks in 5 places at the same time.

Sourcing stalls. ATS pipelines back up. Past applicants sit unused in the CRM. Onboarding drags past day one. Shifts & scheduling open with no one to fill them.

Fountain runs all 5, end to end.

Cue, Fountain's Frontline Superintelligence, orchestrates the work across sourcing, ATS, CRM, onboarding, and shift scheduling, with managers approving key decisions. Anna screens candidates around the clock. Emma gets every form done before day one. Sam checks in with workers at key moments and flags retention risks early.

Seasonal hiring moves quickly. High volume, shifting demand, and tight timelines leave little room for manual workflows.

Hiring teams need to keep candidates engaged, complete onboarding, and build schedules before demand peaks. Manual follow-ups slow progress and add pressure across teams and locations.

Cue, Fountain’s Frontline Superintelligence, takes on the operational load for HR teams from sourcing to onboarding. It keeps workflows moving from application to day one. While teams stay in control, setting the rules, guiding decisions, and preparing their seasonal workforce.

Build workforce readiness before peak demand arrives.

Your candidate pipeline has plenty of data.

It still doesn’t tell you who needs attention first.

Today’s applicants. Past applicants. Qualified candidates going cold.

Three prompts that skip the manual search:

1. “Screen today’s applicants and send me the top 20.”
2. “Find rehire-eligible past applicants for this role, good standing only.”
3. “Which qualified candidates have not received an update in the last three days?”

Cue, Fountain’s Frontline Superintelligence, surfaces the strongest applicants, qualified talent already in your database, and the candidates waiting for an update.

You take the next step. You approve. Cue runs.

Ask it. Run it.

Your ATS records every step. Cue runs the next one.

When applicant volume rises, screening slows. Scheduling loops stretch for days. Offers wait in draft while managers work through another growing list.

Cue keeps the work moving inside Fountain's agentic ATS. It screens applicants against your criteria, surfaces the strongest matches, schedules approved next steps, and drafts offers.

You set the criteria. You review the shortlist. You approve every action. You decide who moves forward. Cue handles the repetitive work while your team keeps control of every hiring decision.

Your ATS shouldn't just record. It should run.

Ask it. Run it.

Your dashboard has never once told you what to do.

It shows you 42 open reqs, a 28-day time-to-fill, a stalled pipeline in Dallas. Then it goes quiet.

The next move is on you, and it can take a Tuesday morning to figure out.

3 prompts that skip that part:

1. Which locations are behind on hiring targets, and why?
2. How many hires will we miss this month if nothing changes?
3. Where is our time-to-fill longest, and what is causing it?

Cue, Fountain’s Frontline Superintelligence, hands you more than a chart. It hands you the 3 locations at risk, the 50 candidates already in your database, and the interview slots you need to add tomorrow.

You approve. Cue runs.

Ask it. Run it.

Peak season exposes every bottleneck in your hiring process.

Fountain automates repetitive post-apply work for restaurant hiring teams, including screening, candidate follow-ups, interview scheduling, and onboarding workflows. Managers set the process, maintain oversight, and make the final hiring decisions.

“Fountain handles hiring the way that I would logically think of it. Being able to have automations do what you don’t have to do, so that you can focus on making sure that everyone has a great experience.” - Shaz Khan, Co-Founder and President at Tono Pizzeria.

Fountain runs the hiring. Cue is the Frontline Superintelligence on top of it, watching where a hire has stalled, which openings are slipping, who is drifting toward a no-show.

It acts on what it finds, within the limits you set.

Keep restaurant hiring moving after every application with Cue: https://bit.ly/4yzqBrp

Stop starting every candidate search from zero.

Ask which past applicants match an open role, who performed well last season, or who dropped off before onboarding. Cue searches your ATS, surfaces the right people, and prepares the next step.

You review. You approve. Cue re-engages.

More value from the people already in your pipeline.

Ask it. Run it.

Frontline candidates want a hiring process they can trust.

In June 2026, Propeller Insights surveyed 1,014 U.S. frontline workers on behalf of Fountain about their experiences with hiring and AI. Here is what the survey found:

62% have been ghosted after multiple interview rounds.
69% feel replaceable at work.
74% would trust employers more if they clearly explained how AI is used.

One survey. Four pressure points. One clear takeaway: better frontline hiring starts with transparency, consistency, and follow-through.

Fountain customers are already closing that gap on the Fountain platform: vacancy rates down 66%, candidate ghosting down 69%.

Cue, Frontline Superintelligence, takes it further: recruiters set the rules, Cue runs the workflow, humans stay in the loop on every decision.

Ask it. Run it.
