Editorial Guidelines

Overall content: Our editorial policy is not to use material directly promoting an organisation’s goods and services. Instead, we publish contributed features containing specific viewpoints on HR-related subjects, advice guides and opinion pieces commenting on experiences of the HR market.

Length of piece: 300-1000 words

Format: People tend to scan read on the Internet – it is a habit we are all developing in response to the massive amount of information available. So it’s good to alert readers quickly to what you are going to put before them, by using headings through a long piece, and splitting the text into relatively short paragraphs.
