We’re looking for a strong writer to develop solo podcast episodes that break down workforce, career, and hiring topics in a clear, engaging way.
This is not a content mill role. We’re looking for someone who can think, research, and write with purpose.
Our audience includes job seekers, employers, and workforce professionals. Episodes should feel natural, practical, and grounded in real-world insight—not scripted or generic.
What You’ll Do
Write 3 solo podcast episodes (trial project)
Review past episode topics (provided after hire)
Research workforce, hiring, and career-related topics
Turn complex ideas into clear, conversational scripts
Provide credible sources for all key insights
Episode Expectations
Length: 15–20 minutes (~2,000–2,800 words)
Structure:
Strong opening hook
Clear topic framing (why it matters)
Breakdown of insights, trends, or articles
Practical takeaways for listeners
Clean, natural closing
The script should sound like a real person talking—not an article being read out loud.
Topics May Include
Job search strategies and career growth
Hiring challenges and employer insights
Leadership and workplace development
Workforce trends and labor market changes
Breaking down articles or reports into practical takeaways
Writers are expected to bring ideas, not just execute assignments.
What We’re Looking For
Strong, clear writing with a conversational tone
Ability to simplify complex topics without losing meaning
Comfortable researching and forming insights
Able to match an existing style while still sounding natural
Reliable and responsive during revisions
Non-Negotiables
All scripts must include source references
No generic or surface-level content
AI-assisted writing is fine—but must be accurate, original, and supported by sources
Project Details
Trial: 3 episodes
Length: 15–20 minutes each
Budget: Open to discussion
Potential for ongoing work if it’s a strong fit
To Apply
Please include:
WORKFORCE in the opening of your cover letter so we know you follow directions
A sample of conversational or storytelling-based writing
A brief explanation of how you approach research-heavy topics
One episode idea you would pitch and why it fits this audience
Plus:
Write a short opening (3–5 sentences) for this episode:
“Why Hiring Is Harder Than Ever—and What Employers Might Be Missing.”
Why This Work Matters
This podcast helps job seekers, employers, and workforce professionals better understand what’s changing—and what to do about it.
The goal is simple: make complex workforce topics clear, useful, and actionable.
