Write for Us Recruitment: Recruitment Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Yes, recruitment guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a recruiter, talent acquisition lead, hiring manager or HR professional who can share what they learned hiring for real roles, especially in small businesses. We decline generic interview tips, posts written to sell one agency or tool and anything that discriminates against candidates.
Most recruitment pitches recycle the same interview questions. What this blog wants is the working view: how a small business hired its first employee without an HR team, what a recruiter checks in the first minute of reading a CV, how a hiring manager rewrote a job advert that attracted nobody.
My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers, and hiring is one of the hardest jobs they do. They already read my guides to ChatGPT prompts for recruiters and how recruitment agencies use AI to screen candidates. A recruitment post has to help them hire the right person, fairly and faster.
60-second recruitment guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you recruit, hire or run HR yourself
- Can you share a real hire with what changed and why
- Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
- Would a small business owner hiring for the first time know what to do next
- Have you removed any sales pitch for one agency, job board or tool
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.
What we publish
- Hiring your first employees as a small business

- Generic interview question lists
- Posts written to sell one agency, job board or tool

What you get
- Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders

How to submit
Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.
What a strong recruitment pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about tips for hiring the right candidate." A strong one says "I hire for a twelve person agency, and I want to show the job advert that got no good applicants, the rewrite that filled the role in a fortnight, and what I stopped asking in interviews." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- Hiring your first employee without an HR team
- Rewriting a job advert that attracted nobody
- What a recruiter reads first on a CV
- Assessments that beat gut feeling
- Using AI to screen candidates fairly
- Onboarding that keeps new hires past their first months
- Running a small recruitment agency
- What hiring taught you about your own business

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept recruitment guest posts?
Yes. Recruitment guest posts are welcome from recruiters, talent acquisition leads, hiring managers and HR professionals who can share real hiring experience. We publish practical articles and decline generic tips and agency promotion.
What recruitment topics do you accept?
Hiring first employees, job adverts, interviews and assessments, fair and inclusive hiring, AI in recruitment, running an agency, onboarding and employer brand. The common thread is a real lesson from hiring.
How long should a guest post be?
Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.
Can I include a link back to my own site?
One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.
Do you accept previously published content?
No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.
Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?
You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.
Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?
Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.
How long does a decision take?
We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.
Do you edit guest posts before they go live?
Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.
Can I pitch more than one idea?
Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.
How do I submit a recruitment guest post?
Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience recruiting, hiring or running HR. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
