Tweet ideas · Hiring
A hiring tweet competes with every other post in the feed, so a job title and a link rarely work. The posts that get good candidates say what the person will actually do in their first months, who they will work with, the salary range if you can share it, and one honest thing about the job that a job board would never print.
Every tweet on this page is original, written for you to post or adapt. Square brackets mark the bits to fill in.
These templates cover announcing a role, describing it plainly, asking your network for referrals, showing how the team works, and closing the loop once someone is hired.
