Top Global Employers Named Above
And another 750+ scaleups, portfolio companies, and institutional partners in the Forkaia network, including the entire 600-company STEALTH portfolio and the 120+ academic institutions in our ecosystem.
The companies named above represent the standing talent-acquisition universe that recruits graduates from top-ranked education platforms. Forkaia maintains documented recruiter-side interest from the subset confirmed via LinkedIn, direct outreach, or partner-portal relationships; the broader list reflects the industry mandate for talent in Forkaia’s core majors. A verified recruiter log for any company above is available on request.
How a Forkaia student actually gets hired.
Four months. Four steps. No career fair, no cold apply, no resume-roulette.
Day 0
You declare your major
Pick one of 20 majors. Your workspace spins up. Your advisor is paired within 24 hours. Student ID issued.
Takes 60 seconds
Day 14
You ship your first work
Every major starts with a two-week ship — a memo, a model, a mock-up. It goes on your public workspace. Recruiters can see it.
Already visible to employers
Day 90
Capstone goes live
Real client work or internal Forkaia build. Verifiable transcript. Verifiable deliverables. Your advisor pushes it to the hiring-partner network.
Recruiter pipeline open
Day 120
Offer in hand
Average Forkaia student receives direct recruiter outreach between Days 90 and 150. Not applications — outreach. From the companies above.
Hired directly
You get way more than a piece of paper.
A traditional college hands you a diploma, a GPA, and a wave goodbye. Here’s what Forkaia hands you — the stuff that actually matters.
★ The real deliverable
Direct access to 1,000+ hiring companies
Not applications. Not career fairs. Recruiters at Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Apple and 995+ others actively viewing your workspace, your capstone, and your verified transcript. The pipeline is the product.
The paper
Verified diploma + transcript
Bachelor of Work, major conferred, GPA, credit hours. Employer-verifiable at forkaia.com/verify. The credential every employer can authenticate in one click.
The portfolio
Public capstone & shipped work
Your capstone project goes live on your public workspace. Future employers see what you’ve built, not what you memorized for an exam.
The connections
Dean, advisors, and the alumni network
The Dean of the School of Work (Ali Sina — CEO of STEALTH, 600+ companies built) and your assigned advisor open the actual doors. Alumni across Amazon, Barclays, Microsoft, and the STEALTH portfolio are one DM away.
The letters
Letters of recommendation that mean something
Rec letters signed by practitioners who’ve worked with you, not professors who signed your attendance. Letters from the Dean’s office carry industry weight.
The ecosystem
Lifetime membership in the STEALTH network
Every Forkaia graduate joins the 600-company STEALTH distributed-studio network for life. Job referrals, portfolio-company founder access, VC introductions, and co-founder matching stay open after you graduate.
The score
Your Forkaia Score — FICO for work readiness
A single credit-score-style number (300–850) that employers use to filter hires. Yours stays live. The higher it climbs, the better the inbound opportunities get.
The recruiter pipeline
Automatic matchmaking to open roles
When a recruiter at any of the 1,000+ partners posts a role, Forkaia auto-matches it against your major, Score, and capstone work. The match goes to them, not you.
The thing nobody tells you
A career, not a job hunt
You don’t finish Forkaia and start applying. You finish Forkaia and pick from inbound offers. The $200,000 college buys you a four-year delay before you start competing. Forkaia buys you a four-month head start on being pursued.
Stop applying. Start getting recruited.
If you’d rather be on this list than fighting for it, the catalog is open. Rolling enrollment, no semesters, start today.
