High-Volume Hiring Made Easy

For organizations of any industry, high-volume recruiting is an arduous task and it becomes even more cumbersome when the majority of the candidates are not even qualified enough. Having said that, today’s constant, and rapid evolving world, businesses such as retail—which is hurdled by frequent turnovers and onboarding a lot of employees at once requires the hiring team to up its game. But the process of high-volume hiring is so time-consuming and scattered that often retailers lose some of the most deserving and valuable candidates because the hiring team fails to keep them engaged. This goes to imply that the method of scheduling interviews with each candidate and spending an ample amount of time on underqualified candidates is antiquated. Retailers need to adopt a smarter way of recruiting, which can save time and effort greatly and also deliver positive outcomes. Here to rescue retailers and other leading brands from the tedious tasks of high-volume hiring without compromising on quality, is San Francisco-based company, Fountain. Its automated high-volume hiring solution, effectively streamlines the recruiting process of sourcing, screening, and onboarding at a considerably less amount of time than the average applicant tracking system (ATS) and in a user-friendly manner.

Fountain’s easily customizable workflows enable its clients to tweak and conduct the hiring process online as per their specifications by requisition, be it video interviews or different skill assessment tests. This customization is extended towards languages, too. It can be modified based on the demographic of its clients and the candidates.
