write for aperture

we publish people who have actually done the thing. if you run hiring, build evaluation systems, or have been through the process as a candidate and have something specific to say about it, we want to read it.

what we publish

  • what actually happened when you changed something in your hiring process, with the numbers
  • a technical piece on evaluation, scoring, bias testing, or interview design
  • a candidate's honest account of being screened by ai
  • research you have read closely and disagree with
  • the case against something we have published

what we turn down

  • listicles assembled from other listicles
  • pieces written to place a backlink
  • vendor comparisons that happen to end on your product
  • anything an llm wrote end to end without you in it

the practical details

  • length: 1,200 to 2,500 words. shorter is fine if it earns it.
  • byline: your name, your role, and a link of your choosing.
  • editing: we edit for clarity and house style, which is lowercase and plain. we send it back before anything goes live.
  • claims: anything factual needs a source we can check.
  • reply time: we read every pitch and answer either way, usually within a week.

pitch us

send the argument, not the finished draft. two or three sentences on what you want to say and why you are the one to say it is enough to start.
