AI Screening for Fountain's High-Volume, Hourly Hiring Pipeline
Screened scores every Fountain applicant's resume and runs AI voice or text screening at hourly-hiring volume, then attaches the score, results link, and recommendation to the applicant's Fountain profile.
Where Screened fits in Fountain
Fountain is a high-volume hiring platform built for frontline and hourly workforces — retail, QSR, delivery and logistics, grocery, hospitality, and healthcare brands that hire continuously across many locations, often through mobile-first and text-to-apply applications.
Recruiters, TA leads, and store-level hiring managers use Fountain's Hire product to move applicants through configurable, Stage-based Workflows from application to offer, while its Source, Pool, and Onboard products handle sourcing spend, re-engaging past applicants, and Day-1 paperwork.
Large frontline employers such as UPS and Sweetgreen run their hourly hiring funnels on Fountain, frequently across hundreds of franchise or corporate-owned locations with separate brand- and franchisee-level permissions.
What Screened takes off your plate in Fountain
When an applicant submits the information a Data Collection Stage asks for, Screened reads their resume and answers, scores them 0-100 against that role's requirements, and attaches the score plus any flagged red flags or experience gaps to their Fountain profile as a compact result report — so a recruiter doing a bulk stage move can act on real screening data instead of an unopened application.
Fountain's text-to-apply flow can pull in hundreds of SMS applicants a day for a single hourly role. Screened can run a voice or text screening interview on each one right after they land in that first stage and produce a transcript and hire/no-hire recommendation, so recruiters advance only qualified applicants into the Scheduler Stage — and self-scheduled interview slots aren't burned on candidates who were never going to be a fit.
Fountain splits hiring by Role and Location so corporate and franchisees see their own slice of the funnel. Screened attaches its scores, recommendations, and results links to the applicant record itself, so a store manager reviewing their location's candidates in Fountain sees the screening result without ever needing a Screened login.
When Fountain's Pool CRM resurfaces a past applicant (a "silver medalist") for a new opening, Screened can re-screen them against the new role's requirements and refresh their score and recommendation, giving a recruiter fresh, comparable data before deciding whether to fast-track them back into the Hire funnel.
How Screened works with Fountain
Screened connects to your Fountain workflow and watches the Stage you choose — typically a Data Collection Stage right after an applicant submits, or just before a Scheduler Stage — so screening happens at the point that matters, not after the fact.
It scores resumes and application answers 0-100 against the role's requirements, extracting qualifications, red flags, and years of experience, and/or runs an AI voice or text screening interview that produces a transcript, per-question scores, and a hire/no-hire recommendation.
Scores, recommendations, and results links are attached to the applicant's Fountain profile as a compact result report, so recruiters and store-level hiring managers keep working from Fountain instead of a second dashboard.
Connecting Fountain to Screened takes a few clicks: you authorize the connection from your Fountain account, your open jobs and candidates flow into Screened, and every screening result flows back to Fountain — no engineering, no CSV exports, no custom build.
Built around how Fountain works
Screened fits the objects and stages your team already uses in Fountain.
Each Fountain job is built as a Workflow made of ordered Stages (Data Collection, Scheduler, Document Signing, and others) that an applicant moves through from application to offer.
A stage that gathers applicant information or screening-question answers through a Data Collection Form — usually the first stop after someone applies.
A stage where applicants pick their own interview slot from a synced calendar instead of a recruiter booking it manually.
An automation rule (formerly called Automatic Move Rule) that advances or removes an applicant from a stage after a set period of inactivity.
Fields on an applicant's Fountain profile — ratings, custom data values, and tags — that Workflow Rules read to decide where an applicant goes next.
Fountain's CRM for rehiring past applicants, which it calls "silver medalists," into new openings instead of sourcing from scratch.

Common questions
Anna is Fountain's own agent for live voice conversations with applicants. Screened is a separate, configurable AI layer that scores resumes and applications 0-100 against your specific job requirements (surfacing qualifications, red flags, and years of experience) and can also run its own voice or text screening interviews. Teams add it when they want that resume-level scoring step, a consistent screening process across more than one hiring platform, or criteria they control directly — either way, results post back to the applicant's Fountain record.
Yes. Text-to-apply candidates land in the same Fountain Stages as web applicants, so Screened can pick them up at whichever Stage you choose — usually right after their first Data Collection Stage — and run a voice or text screening interview before a recruiter is involved.
No. Screened attaches the score, recommendation, and a results link to the applicant's Fountain profile as a result report, so recruiters and store-level hiring managers see everything inside Fountain without a separate dashboard.
Yes. Screened can be scoped the same way Fountain separates hiring — by Role and Location — so a brand's corporate-level requirements and a franchisee's local stage setup each get scored against their own criteria instead of one generic model.
You link your Fountain account to Screened directly — authorize it once and jobs, candidates, and screening results sync between the two. No developer work, no custom API project, and nothing to install. Screening results post back onto the candidate in Fountain automatically as a result report.
Screened highlights potential concerns in resumes and checks interview answers against the job requirements. Your team can review the written reasons and interview transcript, then ask follow-up questions about experience that needs clarification.
Screened keeps assessments and written reasons for candidates screened through Fountain. Open the Screened candidate profile to review activity, or export a CSV of the latest decisions. For hiring decisions made in Fountain, use its own records. See the screening records guide.
