Fountain

aid: fountain
name: Fountain
description: Fountain is an AI-powered frontline workforce management platform used by 500+ enterprise employers across retail,
  logistics, hospitality, healthcare, and food service to source, hire, onboard, schedule, and retain high-volume hourly workers.
  Its developer platform exposes a REST API — the Hire v2 API plus newer Workforce, Attendance, Scheduling, Compliance, Referral,
  Pool, and Pulse microservices — for programmatically managing applicants, openings, positions, locations, interview slots,
  workers, documents, custom attributes, and data exports. Authentication is OAuth2 client-credentials (with a legacy X-ACCESS-TOKEN
  key model on tenant hosts), webhooks are HMAC-SHA-256 signed, requests are rate limited to 120/minute, and deprecations
  are signaled with RFC 8594 Sunset headers.
