Write For Us
ERE is always looking for original articles that help talent acquisition professionals understand how recruiting and hiring are changing. We welcome practitioner stories, case studies, thoughtful analysis, reporting, and practical guidance on recruiting, sourcing, recruiting technology, AI, candidate experience, employer brand, recruitment marketing, workforce trends, and legal or regulatory developments affecting hiring. The strongest submissions bring a clear point of view, current information, specific examples, and ideas that help readers make better decisions in their own organizations.
Pitch first. Before you write an article, please send us a short pitch that includes:
- A proposed headline
- A brief summary of the article
- Why the topic matters to talent acquisition professionals now
- Any sources, data, examples, interviews, or practitioner experience you expect to rely on
- Whether the article has been submitted or published elsewhere
- Any company, vendor, client, or financial relationship connected to the topic
Use of AI. AI tools can be helpful for drafting, organizing ideas, and editing, but submissions should be driven by the author's own expertise, judgment, and point of view. We are interested in what you know, what you have seen, and what you think, not generic AI-generated commentary. We do not accept articles that rely on AI-generated content without meaningful human insight or articles that are essentially written by AI.
Make it different.Our readers value articles that offer new information. They hate anything general and generic. So whether you're writing a news story about a recent development impacting talent acquisition (we especially love such articles), or about a new trend, or you're offering advice, it's vital to convey information and insights that are fresh and that readers haven't seen regurgitated countless times elsewhere.
Keep it specific and narrow. The best articles focus on one specific issue and go deep. For example, rather than detail five ways to improve diversity hiring, pick one and do a full exploration. Additionally, we usually stay away from articles that are “X Ways to Do Y for Z Results.”
Use data. Please provide links or citations for any statistics, research findings, legal or regulatory claims, market data, survey results, or other factual claims that are central to the article. Whenever possible, rely on primary sources, such as court filings, government agencies, research reports, company announcements, or original datasets. Sources should be current, credible, and directly relevant to the point being made. This applies to news articles as much as opinion pieces, so please include such details so that your article conveys utmost authority, credibility, and trust.
Show examples. Nothing makes a story come to life like real-life examples. For instance, if you are writing about a trend, please provide specific examples of that trend.
Keep it original.All work must be original. We do not re-publish content. You are free to re-publish your ERE.net article on your or your company's website, but not elsewhere.
Don't focus on length. Whether it takes 500 words to convey your idea or 1,500, the length of your piece is less important than how people feel reading it.
Due dates.In most cases, due dates are as soon as possible, especially if it's an article about current news. Most importantly, please specify when you'd be able to deliver a draft of the article. And if a story will be late, please provide updates in a timely manner.
Do not pitch anything promotional. We do not publish vendor marketing, thought leadership designed mainly to promote a company, paid links, SEO link-building submissions, or articles that require mentioning a product, client, or employer without clear editorial value.
