LinkedIn Post Example: We're Hiring

You need to hire someone. Here's how to write a post that the right person reads and immediately knows it's for them.

What most people post

šŸ“¢ We're hiring! šŸš€ Looking for a rockstar Senior Engineer to join our world-class team! If you're passionate, driven, and ready to make an impact, we want to hear from you!

What actually works

We need a backend engineer who's comfortable being the only person in the room who understands how the data pipeline works. Right now, our pipeline processes 2M events per day across 340 customer accounts. It works. But it was built by one person who's now our CTO, and the code reflects decisions made when we had 15 customers, not 340. The job: rebuild the ingestion layer so it handles 10x volume without us having to babysit it at 2am during customer onboarding weeks. You'd work directly with our CTO for the first month, then own the system. We're a 22-person company in Chicago. Series A. The engineering team is four people and everyone ships to production. If this sounds like the kind of problem you want, DM me. If you know someone, I'll owe you a dinner.
