Three steps

The fastest hire you've ever made.

Most companies spend 6–12 weeks and $20k+ per junior hire. With Forkaia, the talent is already vetted. The work is already documented. The only thing left is the conversation.

STEP 01

Post your role.

Tell us what you need — role, level, skills, timeline. Two minutes. We use this to shortlist members whose completed work matches your brief.

STEP 02

Review verified work.

You get a curated shortlist within 5 business days. Each profile shows the actual projects they shipped, who reviewed them, and how they scored. No fluff. Just proof.

STEP 03

Interview and hire.

Talk to whoever you want. Hire when you're ready. Pay the flat $5,000 placement fee on day-one of employment. No retainers. No upfront costs.

Why Forkaia®

Hiring junior talent is broken. We fixed it.

Resumes lie. Interviews are theater. References are choreographed. The only honest signal is work. Forkaia members come pre-loaded with months of it.

📋

Pre-vetted by definition.

Every member joined Forkaia, completed onboarding, and shipped real tasks before they ever met you. The bottom of the barrel filters itself out before week one.

🔍

A paper trail of work.

You can see exactly what each candidate built, how they handled feedback, and how their work was evaluated. Compare apples to apples.

5-day shortlist.

From posted role to curated candidates in five business days. Versus 6–12 weeks through traditional recruiting.

💵

One flat fee.

$5,000 per hire. That's it. No retainers, no subscriptions, no percentages, no surprise costs. Average recruiter fee runs $15k–$30k per junior hire.

🎯

400+ specialties.

From AI engineers to brand designers to clinical research coordinators. Whatever role you need, our members have practiced it inside a real company.

Frequently asked

Questions employers ask first.

What kinds of roles do Forkaia members fill?

Across 400+ career paths — from software engineers and AI researchers to brand designers, growth marketers, financial analysts, clinical research coordinators, sustainability consultants, and more. Most members are college students or recent grads, but we also have senior members on the platform for specialized work.

How is this different from LinkedIn or Handshake?

Those platforms show you resumes — claims about what someone can do. Forkaia shows you work — proof of what they actually did, including the projects they shipped, the deadlines they hit, and the reviews they received from professionals at our 600+ partner companies. You're not screening candidates. You're picking a finalist.

How is the $5,000 fee structured?

Flat. No retainer, no percentage, no monthly subscription. You pay $5,000 on the candidate's first day of employment. If you hire 10 people, you pay $50,000 — predictable and clean. Compare to traditional recruiting at 15–20% of first-year salary, which on a $70k role is $14k.

What if the hire doesn't work out?

We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out within their first 90 days, we'll source a replacement at no additional cost. We can do this because we know the talent — they've worked on our platform for months before you hired them.

How fast can I get hires?

Most companies receive a curated shortlist within 5 business days of posting a role. Interview cycles and offer timelines vary by company, but our average hire closes within 3–4 weeks of posting.

Can I hire for senior roles?

The bulk of our talent pool is junior-to-mid level — students, new grads, and recent professionals 0–5 years out. For senior hires, we can access our alumni network. Reach out and we'll see what fits.

Do you charge differently for international hires?

No. Flat $5,000 regardless of location. We have members across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia.

What if I just want to browse before posting a role?

We're rolling out a browse feature for select employers. For now, the best way to start is to post a role — it's free, it commits you to nothing, and you'll get a sense of the caliber of talent within a week.

Get started

Post your role.

Two minutes. No payment up front. You'll hear from us within one business day with next steps and a sample shortlist if your role is a fit.
