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.
Capability, practical compatibility, career contribution, and information coverage.
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?
Described responsibilities and development opportunities are considered against the user’s destination. A related title supports discovery but does not prove access to growth or guarantee advancement.
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Job postings can be incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or imprecise.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.
Undisclosed compensation and unverified commute details remain unknown. They appear as questions to resolve; available information coverage is shown separately from alignment.
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.
How should I interpret the assessment?
The current matcher combines capability, described career contribution, and known practical compatibility. Unknown dimensions are excluded and the available weights normalized. Deep Dives explain the saved assessment without replacing its score. Evidence support and profile completeness remain separate.
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?
Capability, practical compatibility, career contribution, and information coverage answer distinct questions. AIR evidence starts as self-reported; additional source labels require staff review. Roadmap activities, evidence submission, and review are tracked separately. Voluntary follow-up feedback supports a methodology pilot; it does not yet establish effectiveness.
