Locations and Location Groups (Hire)

This guide details how to create, manage, and organize job locations and groups within Fountain Hire to streamline the setup and categorization of your hiring openings.

A Location represents where a job Position is based. Each job Opening is associated with a Location, which sets key defaults like address, time zone, and language.

You can also place Locations into different Location Groups. You can think of Location Groups as folders used for organizing Locations. While Fountain will initially bring you to your organization's Location Groups page upon editing Locations, this article will first demonstrate how to create Locations and put them into Groups.

Add Location

  1. Click Jobs in the top navigation bar and select Locations.

  3. Enter the details for your new Location including Location Group, Location Owner, Address, Country, Time Zone, Language, Brand, and SMS Number.

    1. In the Address field, begin typing the location address. Google address suggestions will appear as you type.

    1. Select the correct address from the suggestions. The address automatically populates and splits into individual components: street address, city, state, zip code, and country.

    2. If any individual component needs correction, click the Edit address button to manually edit specific fields.

  4. Click Save.

Add Location Group

You can place Locations in different Location Groups. You can think of Location Groups as folders used for organizing Locations. This allows you to better organize and find your openings faster, as well as assign owners.

For example, if you had two Locations (San Francisco and Los Angeles), you could place them into a "California" Location Group.

  1. Click Jobs in the main navigation and select Locations.

  3. Name your group and assign a Group Owner. Group ownership is useful for teams where individual user manages a set of Openings based on Groups, otherwise, you can assign owners at a per Opening basis.
