Erik Torenberg on Hiring

I'm hiring a "researcher in residence" to work with me closely across projects—deep diving on sectors, trends, & more. To apply & learn more, shoot an email to erik@beondeck.com with your best research or writing. Academics/analysts/writers are good archetypes, tho open-minded.

Your note

Private to you, and used when you remix this post.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
