Hiring advice without the jargon

Recruit Today is a blog for the people who do their own hiring: owners, office managers, agency principals, and team leads who have to find, interview, and keep good people on top of everything else they do.

Why this exists

Most hiring advice is written for companies with an HR department

Search for hiring help and you get enterprise playbooks, software pitches, and thirty-step frameworks built for recruiting teams of twelve. Most hiring in America is done by someone whose actual job is something else entirely.

This blog is for that person. Every article is written to be read in a few minutes, applied the same week, and reused for the next hire. No gated PDFs, no webinar funnels, no software you have to buy first.

How we write

The rules every article follows

Practical over impressive

If you cannot use it on your next hire, we cut it. Checklists, scripts, and structures beat theory every time.

Plain English

Hiring has enough jargon. We write the way you would explain something to a colleague over coffee.

Small-team reality

Advice sized for a team of five to fifty, where the hiring manager is also the owner, the trainer, and sometimes the payroll department.

Both sides of the table

Treating candidates well is not a nicety, it is a strategy. What is good for the applicant is almost always good for the hire.

Honest numbers

When we cite a benchmark or a statistic, it reflects real-world patterns, and when something is a judgment call, we say so.

Reader-driven

The topic list comes from questions readers send. The best articles started as someone's real hiring headache.
