LinkedIn post ideas about hiring decisions

Hiring is one of the highest-use decisions a leader makes, and almost everyone has strong opinions about what works. Posts about hiring attract engagement from both sides, hiring managers and candidates, which doubles your audience.

6 post ideas to try

  1. 1Share the hire you almost didn't make who turned out to be your best team member, what almost made you pass?
  2. 2Describe the best interview question you've ever asked and why it works.
  3. 3Write about a time you hired for skills over culture fit (or vice versa) and what happened.
  4. 4Tell the story of the worst hiring decision you ever made and the red flag you ignored.
  5. 5Share what you look for in the first 5 minutes of an interview that tells you more than the rest of the hour.
  6. 6Describe how your hiring criteria changed after you saw what actually predicted success on your team.

Example hooks to grab attention

“I've hired over 200 people. The best one almost didn't make it past the resume screen.”
“Stop asking 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' Here's what to ask instead.”

Tips for writing about this topic

  • •Hiring posts work best when you challenge a common practice, 'I stopped doing X in interviews and here's what happened.'
  • •Include the outcome. Saying you changed your hiring process means nothing without showing what it led to.
  • •Be honest about your failures. The hire that didn't work out teaches more than the perfect team-building story.
