Hiring a permanent internal recruiter or partnering with a contingent agency that charges up to 30% of placements' first year salary is an unsustainable financial burden for their business.

A Broken Model →
Our founder, Zach Rose, began his journey recruiting for general and specialty construction roles in Southern California, where the fight for top talent was highly competitive. The biggest lesson learned was realizing how crucial hiring the highest caliber candidates is for winning more projects and growing companies.

While working at a contingent recruitment firm, Zach witnessed the dark side of recruiting: recruiters lacked basic construction knowledge, would market the same candidate to multiple clients and thus create a bidding war. Even worse, he saw recruiters manipulate & misrepresent candidate information to fill roles for a commission rather than commit to filling strategic positions with the right person, and even saw recruiters stealing candidates from their own clients to fill newer positions.
A Broken Model ✕

Forge began with the mission to fix this broken model and created a flat rate model to prioritize meeting our clients' hiring needs instead of a commission. In breaking the commission model, Forge comes alongside our clients to understand the uniqueness of their company mission and vision, attract and source talent, and streamline the hiring process to make it easy and affordable to hire the best candidates for individual needs.
