Case Study: Citi helps Arnav Mathur land a Markets internship with Forage

Citi lands an internship offer after completing Forage’s virtual experience program

The customer, Citi, faced the challenge of effectively identifying and recruiting talented students like Arnav Mathur, an international student whose applications were often automatically rejected due to his need for visa sponsorship. This created a barrier to accessing a diverse talent pool. To address this, Citi utilized a virtual experience program created by the vendor, Forage.

The solution from Forage was its Citi Markets Division virtual experience program, which provided Arnav with practical skills and insight into the role of a Markets Analyst. Completing the program allowed him to demonstrate his capabilities directly to Citi recruiters, leading to an invitation to an exclusive event and ultimately a successful internship offer. Forage enabled Citi to efficiently assess a candidate's potential beyond the traditional application, resulting in a valuable hire.
