1/ We're thrilled to announce @lightspeedvp's Series A investment in Forage (@InsideSherpa), the future of job search. Here's more on what makes Forage so special:

2/ What if employers told you exactly what they’re looking for, and then hired you based on how you performed?

Forage theforage.com does just this.

Forage is so special because:

3/ Forage helps candidates "try before they buy" and understand what roles they’re NOT interested in, while simultaneously allowing people to connect directly to a recruiter on their platform if the recruiter likes what they submitted in the course

4/ Forage makes employers the authors of courses. There’s no better job authority than the employer itself. With Forage, candidates know the credential is strong b/c employers are the author - and they actually expect to hire, not just market their product, through the course.

5/ Forage helps recruiters save time. Rather than rely on outbound sourcing or resume book reviews to find candidates, employers who post a course generate a qualified pipeline of candidates. These candidates have already demonstrated interest and knowledge of their company. ⏱️

6/ Forage evens the playing field. Forage democratizes access to information about careers and access to recruiters. Forage succeeds when recruiters find amazing candidates who they wouldn’t have found otherwise. 💎

7/ Learn more about Forage in @TechCrunch and @nmasc_ 's post
