Set up may take some additional support help, but overall daily use is simple. Incorporate/ upload your policies and procedures into Fountain to be signed for during orientation. Watch the tabs change colors when employees complete and move to the next stage in the process you have set up. Pros Fountain is fairly easy to work with. It has several tabs which can be set and labeled in any order wished. Easy click visuals help as the hiring process advances for the candidates interview. Cons I noticed customer service has kind of moved to an email/ online communication preference. Phone calls to instant real people are always preferred.

Pros The most impactful feature is the new feature where the driver's information's are presented, it's very accessible, no need to navigate other things, all the information's are already made available. Cons Fountain needs to improve when it comes to their integration, there is so much error going on and we need to reload the page every time since some things are not working.

Front Line Operations Agent Human Resources ### "Fountain Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 2, 2022 So far so good. Just experiencing some latency sometimes but it doesn't matter that much. Pros It is very easy to use. Real time process. Cons I think it is better if we could just delete rejected applications. For example, duplicate applications. Also, about fraudulent applications, there should be a list of fraudulent applicants. So that when they submit another application, it will notify the system that the application is a suspected fraud so the agent will have an option to reject it.
