I-9 Center Options
There are two ways you can use Fountain's I-9 Center, as a task within the Worker Portal to complete as your new hires onboard or as a stage within your application that applicants will complete before hire.
During Application (PAPI) Benefits:
You can utilize Hire's CAI functionality to support stuck applicants who have questions.
You can add a custom informative video stage before the I-9 stage. See a video example HERE. This can be especially helpful if you are using the Authorized Representative option for Section 2 completion!
During Application (PAPI) Considerations:
You must purchase Fountain Hire to use this option.
The I-9 stage should be towards the very end of your hiring process as the I-9 form must be completed within a specified time frame related to the start date.
If you have a lengthy application process, adding this stage may create additional application fatigue for your applicants especially if they are completing both a W-4 and I-9 form.
During Onboarding Benefits:
If you have a lengthy application process, moving these forms to onboarding creates a natural break in the process for the worker completing the information.
New hires are excited to get started and therefore, may be more engaged to finish completing the forms quickly!
During Onboarding Considerations:
You must purchase Fountain Onboard to use this option.
New hires are fast approaching their start date, so Fountain users will need to be mindful of following up to ensure completion by the worker by due dates.
