Peter Berg, founder of Forward, a consulting firm that hires globally remote engineers for startups, wants to change that. About a month ago, Berg announced that Forward would provide data and context to every applicant once a role is closed. Berg told Business Insider that Forward does its best not to waste people's time during the application or interview process through lengthy exams or assignments. Melissa Bashur told BI that the insight she received allowed her to better understand the current job market. He also said individual contributors who don't have experience with hiring tend to be more in the dark about the process.
