Built around your process
Evidence for your process, not a replacement for it
You keep your pipeline, your interviews and the final call. JuniorForge adds the one thing a CV can't: assessed technical and behavioral results for each junior candidate, which you can check yourself.
Results, not rankings
We show scores and how they were produced. We never auto-reject or rank candidates for you.
Check any link in seconds
Candidates share a verify link on their CV or LinkedIn. Open it without an account, and download it as a PDF for your file.
Interview prompts included
Each profile highlights strengths and growth areas, so your interviewers know what to dig into.

Incorporated in Nigeria in September 2025 and the United Kingdom in January 2026. We operate with legal accountability in both markets. Not a side project, a company.
Assessment-driven vetting
Candidates complete a multi-part assessment covering technical skills, code challenges, and behavioral questions before entering the Tier 1 pool. No self-reported claims.
Score transparency
You see real scores. Percentile ranking, technical rating, behavioral profile. No black box. Every data point is visible to you and your client.
Talent-consented access
Every candidate you can view has opted in to recruiter visibility. Talent controls who sees their profile, so the people you contact actually want to be contacted.
