Forage is a platform for developing and hosting open access virtual job simulations. These virtual job simulations are free for students and allow them to ‘try on’ what it is like to have a job at a company before they apply for a role, acting as a talent attraction and engagement tool that demystifies an employer brand, provides clarity about potential career pathways, and pre- skills candidates for the role. In return, employers maximize their recruiting and hiring efficiencies; because Forage programs are free, are available 24/7, and are used by educational institutions worldwide, employers are able to attract a diverse pool of talent that they might not have been able to reach before. Beyond attraction, Forage programs are also used for nurture and engagement strategies, giving employers access to a pool of talent showcasing high signals of intent to apply, quality, and confidence in the roles pursued.
On April 8, 2024, EAB announced that it had reached an agreement to add Forage to its suite of solutions designed to help employers build stronger, more inclusive workforces. The acquisition, which was completed on April 23, 2024, will enable EAB to draw on its unique position serving thousands of colleges and hundreds of companies to help employers identify and hire qualified early-career talent. By joining forces with Forage, EAB can connect employers to pipeline of diverse students and provide millions of college students with better access to career opportunities and understanding of what those options look like in the real world.
