What can the user support?
Profile evidence is compared with stated requirements, responsibilities, preferred qualifications, and leadership expectations.
Forge methodology
Career decisions grounded in evidence and direction.
Forge is built around a simple principle: matching a résumé to a job title is not enough. Useful career intelligence must consider demonstrated capability, practical constraints, and the value of the move.
The three layers of a Forge evaluation.
Forge organizes available information into distinct questions so users can understand the reasoning, limitations, and tradeoffs behind an opportunity.
Can the opportunity work?
Compensation, location, work arrangement, timing, and other saved constraints help identify practical conflicts.
What does the move build?
The opportunity’s likely scope and trajectory are considered against the user’s next role and long-term destination.
Responsible interpretation
Scores summarize evidence. They do not manufacture certainty.
Job postings can be incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or imprecise. User profiles may also omit relevant accomplishments. Forge therefore presents scores as decision support and pairs them with explanations, concerns, and missing information.
Forge does not promise interviews, offers, promotions, or compensation outcomes. Human hiring decisions and workplace realities include factors that no public job description or profile can fully capture.
TRANSPARENCY PRINCIPLEUnknown information should remain unknown—not become a hidden penalty.
For example, an opportunity without posted salary is not automatically excluded. Forge marks the uncertainty so the user can decide how much it matters.
Methodology and limitations
Does Forge make hiring decisions?
No. Forge serves job seekers and provides career decision support. Employers make their own independent hiring decisions.
Where does the analysis come from?
Analysis uses information available in the job posting, the user’s career profile, saved preferences, and selected career direction.
Are all job postings complete and accurate?
No. Forge can identify some missing or conflicting information, but users should verify important details with the original employer source.
Why use two scores?
Job Fit and Career Fit answer different questions. Keeping them separate makes it easier to see when qualification and long-term value do not point in the same direction.
