Build for the opportunity ahead.
CareerForge is Bushnell Commons' AI-assisted career studio designed to transform your verified experience into a professionally written resume built around the opportunity you're pursuing.
What is CareerForge
More than a resume template
CareerForge goes beyond filling information into a template. Start by uploading your existing resume, pasting your information, or building your career profile from scratch.
Then tell CareerForge which company and role you're pursuing. CareerForge uses your verified experience to create a professionally written, targeted resume — without inventing employers, qualifications, dates, accomplishments, or experience you don't have.
Your experience stays yours
CareerForge is designed around verified information. It should not invent employers, job titles, employment dates, degrees, certifications, metrics, achievements, or qualifications.
When important information is missing, CareerForge may ask you for clarification instead of making something up.

Candidate Alignment
See how you align
CareerForge provides a 0–100 Candidate Alignment score showing how your verified experience aligns with the target opportunity.
Candidate Alignment is a measurement of how your verified experience aligns with the opportunity you're targeting. It is not a prediction of hiring outcomes, interview probability, or ATS acceptance.

For Employers & Recruiting Teams
CareerForge Business
CareerForge isn't only for job seekers. CareerForge Business provides tools for organizations seeking talent.
- Organization accounts with multiple team seats
- Owner, Admin, and Recruiter roles
- Candidate discovery with opt-in Talent Profiles
- Candidate filtering and credit-based contact unlocking
- Job posting
Candidate discovery is opt-in. CareerForge candidates can choose whether to make a Talent Profile discoverable. Recruiters may search discoverable candidate profiles, but contact information remains protected until appropriately unlocked. Recruiters do not automatically receive resume documents.
Your career information stays private
CareerForge resumes are private by default. Employer discoverability is optional. Talent Profile visibility requires user opt-in. Recruiters do not automatically receive resume documents.
CareerForge Pricing
