Migrate your Fountain data

Fountain's primary candidate record object. Each applicant is tied to a Job Post and progresses through configurable Stages. We migrate applicant profiles including contact details, answers to screening questions, and stage history. Custom applicant attributes are preserved via field mapping.

Job Posts represent open positions at specific Locations with defined hiring pipelines. We migrate job titles, descriptions, requirements, department assignments, and the linked pipeline stage configurations. Archival status of closed jobs is captured so your destination can reflect historical positions.

Stages are pipeline steps with customizable names and configured automations. Fountain supports conditional stage transitions and automated actions per stage. We map stage names and sequence to the destination's pipeline model, flagging any automation rules that require reconfiguration post-migration.

Locations represent physical work sites (stores, warehouses, restaurants) where hiring occurs. Applicant eligibility can be filtered by location. We migrate location names, addresses, and associated hiring managers so your destination reflects the same site-level organizational structure.

Departments group Jobs and hiring teams by business function. We preserve department assignments so reporting by business unit remains consistent after migration, and we map department hierarchies where they exist in Fountain.

Fountain supports customAttributes on Applicants and Jobs with readOnly and hidden flags. readOnly attributes can only be set by the system and cannot be migrated as editable values. We identify all custom fields during discovery, flag readOnly ones, and map user-defined attributes to equivalent custom fields in the destination or preserve them as notes.

Fountain stores onboarding and hiring documents attached to Applicants including completed forms, compliance certifications, and background check results. We migrate document references and binary files where accessible via API. Documents tied to onboarding workflows may require re-attachment in the destination's onboarding module.

Offer records include compensation details, start dates, and offer status tied to specific Applicants. We migrate offer data including salary, shift schedule, and position details, preserving offer history for audit and compliance purposes.

User-added notes on Applicants capture hiring manager context and interview feedback. Notes are text blobs without structured fields. We migrate note content and attribution (author, timestamp) but note that formatting and attachment of notes to records depends on the destination's data model.

Fountain's automation rules (auto-advance stages, email triggers, task assignments) are not exposed via the public API for export. We document active workflow configurations during discovery so they can be manually reconstructed in the destination ATS or HRIS.
