Common questions
Should I share specific candidates' info publicly?+
Never — even positive. The asymmetry is bad: candidates have no control over how they're framed, and your post outlasts the moment. Aggregate patterns + anonymized situations only.
How does hiring content help recruitment?+
Hiring content signals the principles of the org. Strong hiring posts (specific bar, named filters, transparent process) make your company more attractive to high-quality candidates who recognize good principles. The compounding is multi-quarter — content posted today shapes who applies in 6 months.
Should I post about firing as well as hiring?+
Carefully. Firing posts can come across as cold or cruel if mis-framed. The framing that works: 'A pattern we look for that signals we should let someone go early' — abstracted, principled, never about a specific person. Most successful hiring-content accounts post 8-10 hiring posts per 1 firing post.
