<\/a><\/a>\nThe announcement marks Fountain\u2019s first inclusion in the report and comes as Fountain prepares to launch Cue<\/a>, a new system designed to run frontline hiring and staffing in real time.<\/p> \nFountain\u2019s inclusion also comes at an inflection point in hiring, which is shifting from systems that track workflows through a series of steps to systems that execute outcomes. Purpose-built for frontline and hourly hiring at scale \u2013 rather than adapting legacy application tracking systems \u2013 we believe Fountain is built for that market evolution.<\/p> \n\u201cFrontline work is the largest segment of the global workforce, but it\u2019s been underserved by traditional hiring systems,\u201d said Sean Behr, CEO of Fountain. \u201cIn our opinion, this recognition reflects what we\u2019re hearing from customers every day: that hiring isn\u2019t just about managing pipelines anymore. It\u2019s about making sure roles are filled and teams are ready to work. We believe the future of this category is systems that don\u2019t just track hiring but actually run it.\u201d<\/p> \nIn our view, the recognition from Gartner reflects a broader shift in the market toward speed, automation and operational execution, especially in industries like logistics, retail and staffing. We believe it also validates Fountain\u2019s view that high-volume hiring is no longer a niche use case but is becoming a primary driver of workforce strategy.<\/p> \nFountain\u2019s AI-native Cue agent reduces drop-off and no-shows; keeps locations staffed in real time; and automates coordination across hiring and scheduling.<\/p> \nAbout the Evaluation and Report<\/b><\/p> \nGartner delivers actionable, objective insight to executives and their teams.
