Know who you're letting in.
One bad recruit can cost a corporation ships, structures and trust. VoidForge puts an applicant's history, alts, skills and kills in front of your recruiters, with the applicant's consent and only for as long as you need it.

From link to decision in four steps
Applicants don't need a VoidForge invite to apply. They sign in with EVE, and the link only lets them apply to your corporation.
Share your link
Post it in your recruitment channel, forum thread or in-game ad. Close it or replace it whenever you like.
They choose what to share
You set what you ask for. They see the list, pick what to share and add their alts.
Review together
Everyone who recruits for you sees the same application, adds notes and sees who already talked to them.
Accept or decline
Accept and send the invite in game, or decline. Either way, your access to what they shared ends.
The whole applicant on one page
Public data from EVE is there for every applicant. Everything else is what the applicant chose to share with you.
| Character | Corporation | SP |
|---|---|---|
| Theron Glass | Ystrel Outriders | 212.9M |
| Glass Mines | Ystrel Outriders | 88.0M |
| Theron Cyno | NPC corp | name only |
| Quiet Glass | NPC corp | name only |
Strong PvP record and flies the Naglfar today. Ask about the 11 days in Calvory Drift.
Talked in comms. He left Calvory Drift when it went quiet, and disclosed the cyno alt himself.
Corporation › Recruitment › an applicant. Sample data.
- 1
What they can fly and earn
See their skill points, which of your hulls they can fly, their kills and losses, and what they earn in a month.
- 2
Where they've been
See every corporation they've been in and how long they stayed. It's public in EVE, so it's there even if they share nothing else.
- 3
Who else they fly
See the alts they disclosed and the corporations those alts are in.
- 4
Worth asking about
VoidForge picks out prompts for the interview from their history and wars. They're questions to ask, not verdicts.

Your recruiters' notes
Everyone who recruits for you shares them, and they're kept after the applicant's access ends.
The patterns experienced recruiters look for
VoidForge points these out so newer recruiters catch them too. Each one has an innocent explanation as often as not, so it opens a conversation rather than closing one.
Short stays
They left a corporation within a month of joining it.
Frequent moves
They've been in four or more corporations in the last two years.
A new character
The character was created in the last 30 days, or has very few skill points for what they claim to fly.
Recently at war with you
A corporation in their history was at war with yours or your alliance while they were in it.
Kills on your alliance
Their shared kills include victims from your alliance in the last year.
Something you asked for is missing
They chose not to share a category you asked for, such as their alts.
Good pilots apply where they're treated well
Applicants see exactly what you'll see and for how long. That makes an honest applicant comfortable sharing more.
They choose
The list shows what you asked for. They can share less, and you'll see what they left out.
They see who looked
Each recruiter who opens the application is listed for the applicant.
It ends on its own
Access ends after 14 days, when you decide, or when they withdraw. There's no export of their data.
Quillon Arcworks's recruiters see what you share for 14 days, until they decide, or until you withdraw. Your corporation history is public in EVE and shown either way.
From applicant to member, the sharing carries on
Once an accepted applicant joins you in game, they can keep sharing with your corporation as a member, and their numbers count toward your alliance's totals. Your corporation can require it, and your alliance can require its corporations to share.
Members can stop sharing at any time. With a required policy, they're then listed as not sharing, and what happens next is up to your corporation.
A recruitment page that keeps itself up to date
Turn on a public page for your corporation with your pitch, time zones and requirements. Live numbers from EVE sit next to it, so applicants can see you're active, and they apply from the same page.
See an example →What recruiters ask first
Does an applicant need a VoidForge invite?
No. Your recruitment link lets anyone apply to your corporation. Using VoidForge for their own characters still needs an invite.
What if an applicant shares nothing?
You still see what's public in EVE: corporation history, the character's age, security status and wars. The application says what they left out.
Can an applicant fake their skills or kills?
No. It all comes from EVE's official API through the applicant's own sign-in, not from anything they type.
Who can recruit?
The CEO, Directors and Personnel Managers can recruit, based on their roles in game.
Can we see alts they didn't disclose?
No. VoidForge only knows the characters on the applicant's own account, and only shows the ones they chose to disclose.
