Built by students who just went through it — not years ago, but now.

Forge Recruiting Group was built by a group of current students who just went through the process. Not years ago, but recently, in the same accelerated, highly competitive environment you're navigating now. Between us, we've converted every first-round interview into an offer and secured positions at Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey, and across buy-side investing roles.

After thousands of networking calls, hundreds of mock interviews, constant technical drilling, and an obsessive focus on what actually moves the needle in modern recruiting, we built a deep library of firm-specific questions, behavioral frameworks, outreach strategies, and preparation systems — all based on firsthand experience.

When we started, we had the same questions most students have — whether at a target or non-target school: where do I begin, am I already behind, and is this even realistic from my position? We looked for guidance and found that most of what was out there was either outdated, disconnected from the current process, or priced in a way that didn't reflect the value being delivered.

Going through it ourselves made something very clear: the gap isn't ability — it's access to people who have just been through the process, who understand what's being asked right now, and who can give direct, practical guidance at every stage. We wanted someone to be there for us from the first outreach email to the final round.

That's why we built Forge Recruiting Group. Not as a course, and not as something designed to scale, but as a selective group focused on a small number of candidates each cycle. We prioritize potential over background, and we work closely with the students we believe can realistically place into top firms.

For those selected, we provide continuous, on-demand mentorship built around real-time guidance, personalized materials, and direct access to everything we used ourselves. That includes firm-specific notes drawn from thousands of conversations, actual interview questions asked in prior processes, networking templates, tracking systems, and every technical and behavioral framework we relied on.

We're still close to the process, which means everything we share reflects how recruiting works today — not how it worked years ago.

For the 2026–2027 cycle, we are intentionally limiting the number of students we work with to ensure a high level of attention and quality. Selection is competitive, and we encourage early applications.
