Understand what they can prove
Start with role-alignment evidence from candidates who opted into employer discovery. Personal details are shared through the mutual introduction process, after the candidate accepts.
FOR RECRUITERS & EMPLOYERS
Recruiters find candidates. Forge understands them.
Forge Talent helps hiring teams define roles and review evidence-based matches from candidates who choose employer discovery. Candidate identity and introduction material stay private until a request is accepted.
Better hiring context, shared with consent.
A résumé tells you where someone has been. Forge adds the context recruiters normally have to reconstruct through screening calls, scattered notes, and guesswork.
Understand where they are headed
Understand whether a candidate's stated direction and preferences fit the opportunity, without treating a score as a hiring decision.
Compare them with a real role
Use Forge Fit intelligence to see strengths, missing evidence, likely concerns, and role alignment before spending recruiter and hiring-manager time.
Capability and direction
Match signals answer different hiring questions.
Candidate Fit reflects how the candidate's shared experience and evidence align with the employer's stated role requirements. Forge also shows strengths and areas to validate.
Opportunity Fit reflects whether compensation, work arrangement, location, scope, and career direction align with what the candidate wants. The workspace also shows a mutual-match signal and readiness where available.
FORGE PRINCIPLEA technically strong match can still be the wrong career move.
A candidate can be technically qualified and still be the wrong long-term match. Forge keeps capability and career alignment separate so one impressive percentage does not hide a weak hiring outcome.
From role definition to mutual introductions.
Create a company workspace, define a role, and request access to relevant opt-in candidate matches. Forge protects identities and introduction material until the candidate accepts.
Find stronger-fit candidates
Focus recruiter attention on candidates whose experience, goals, compensation, and role requirements show meaningful alignment.
See the reasoning behind the score
Surface strengths, concerns, missing evidence, and tradeoffs so screening conversations can start with better questions.
Protect private career plans
Candidate development remains theirs to manage. Employer access is limited to the information made available through the consent-based match and introduction flow.
Questions recruiters are likely to ask
What makes Forge different from an ATS match score?
Forge is designed to add candidate context, not replace an ATS. It combines demonstrated experience, career direction, compensation expectations, development progress, and opportunity fit so recruiters can understand why a candidate may or may not make sense.
Does Forge only evaluate technical skills?
No. Forge can account for experience, responsibilities, leadership scope, accomplishments, constraints, goals, and other evidence available in the candidate profile alongside role requirements.
Can recruiters see a candidate's private roadmap?
No. A candidate's private roadmap remains theirs. Forge shares only the match information permitted by the candidate's employer-discovery settings, and personal introduction material is released after they accept an introduction.
Is Forge Talent available to employers today?
Employers can create a company workspace, build private job drafts, request Forge verification, and invite team members. Candidate search is available only where there is a relevant opt-in pool and a working introduction process.
