Understand what they can prove
Review experience, accomplishments, leadership scope, skills, compensation goals, location preferences, and job-search constraints in a structured candidate profile.
FOR RECRUITERS & EMPLOYERS
Recruiters find candidates. Forge understands them.
Forge Talent gives recruiters and hiring teams deeper candidate context before the interview—skills alignment, demonstrated experience, career goals, compensation expectations, development progress, and role-fit intelligence in one place.
One candidate profile. Three recruiter advantages.
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
See the role a candidate is pursuing, the longer-term destination behind it, and whether your opportunity actually fits that direction.
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.
Two scores, different questions
Fit scores answer different hiring questions.
Job Fit compares the employer’s stated requirements with evidence from the candidate’s career profile, including experience, responsibilities, accomplishments, and skills.
Career Fit evaluates whether the opportunity aligns with the candidate’s compensation expectations, desired scope, target role, and longer-term direction—important context for engagement and retention.
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 candidate search to talent development.
Forge does not just score candidates once. Career roadmaps, opportunity deep dives, and progress tracking show how people are developing over time—giving recruiters richer context than a static résumé.
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.
See development in motion
Review roadmap objectives and progress to understand how a candidate is actively closing gaps instead of assuming today’s résumé is the whole story.
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 where a candidate is still developing?
That is part of the value. Career Roadmap progress can show which gaps a candidate is actively working to close, providing more context than a static résumé alone.
Is Forge Talent available to employers today?
Yes. Employers can create a verified company workspace, add private job drafts, run Job Deep Dives, review mutual-fit candidate intelligence, and invite recruiters or hiring managers through individual role-based accounts.
