Anyone involved with content ideation/process + jobs posting (Company Builder clients only).
We encourage you to share any anecdotal feedback you’ve received about your content, info about anyone in your pipeline (hiring or leadgen) who has mentioned using Technical.ly for research, and bringing any questions/feedback from your overall team to the call so that we can best serve your organization.
We recommend your featured employees are, first and foremost, proud and engaged team members who are representative of your organization’s overall culture and values. We also suggest picking team members you want to “replicate” in your hiring, either in terms of role (i.e. a software engineer if you have an upcoming need for more devs) or in personality/background. We also always encourage elevating diverse voices so members of our audience from underrepresented communities can see themselves reflected in the content and be more likely to be interested in your company.
For Company Builder Starter-level clients, your sponsored article option is an Employee Profile Article.
For Company Builder Pro + Premium-level clients, you have additional options:
Turnaround time varies depending on how quickly interviews can be scheduled and feedback/approval is provided. We aim for the ~3-5 week range (a week to connect with interviewees and conduct interviews, a week to create and share the draft and a week to complete feedback and get final approval). This process can be expedited and we’ll aim to hit any target deadlines you have in mind.
There are no required image sizes or limits — we just ask that you provide as high-resolution files as possible. For the Directory Page header image, the page has a responsive design that changes based on the users’ display settings (resolution, zoom, etc), so we recommend a landscape-oriented image with most of the key elements in the center to avoid details being cut off on screen.
Yes! If you have quotes from startups and orgs you’ve worked with about the benefits of your services, please share those with us and we can add them to your page.
Builders Live is our video interview series about building better tech companies and ecosystems. Our CEO Chris Wink typically conducts the interviews virtually via StreamYard on Wednesdays 11-11:30am (with 10-15 minutes of prep discussion and the actual interview recording taking place 11:15-11:30). You can share dates that work best for whoever on your team will participate, and if it's easier, we're happy to connect with them directly to coordinate. We broadcast the interviews via LinkedIn Live, then Chris writes a recap article that gets distributed as an email newsletter and published on the site. For reference, you can see previous installments in the series here.
Yes, you can set any job post’s apply button to direct to a URL, so if you’re able to generate a link with a UTM or tracking code, you can use that to see how much traffic is coming to you via Technical.ly.
That is not currently a functionality on our jobs board, and posting is a manual process at this time.
There is no limit on how many users you can have associated with your company account. Please let us know who on the team needs job posting access, and we can create logins for them. As an alternative to individual logins, we can create a login for a general email (ie jobs@yourcompany or hr@yourcompany) so multiple people can access the job posts without having to create user profiles for each of them.
Your posted jobs are regularly featured in TWIJ to our subscriber base of 10K active and passive jobseekers. You can also reach out to us at any point with any high priority roles or posts you want to attract extra attention to, and we’ll pass the info along to our TWIJ writer to include the next time you appear in the newsletter.
Separate from the sponsored content we do together in this partnership, we are always open to story pitches for organic editorial coverage. At any point, feel free to reach out with your ideas and we can pass them along to the editors for consideration. Additionally, if you have a list to which you send press releases and regular company updates, you can add our market editor emails to it: philly@technical.ly, baltimore@technical.ly, dc@technical.ly, delaware@technical.ly and pittsburgh@technical.ly. Please keep in mind that organic coverage is not guaranteed and is subject to our editors’ discretion.
Yes! We are always open to publishing guest posts, and can repurpose existing material you already have written or have published elsewhere. You can let us know the topic you have in mind, and we can coordinate with our editors to review the draft once you submit it. Like the sponsored articles, anything published on Technical.ly is subject to our editorial review, so when you submit the draft, our editors may have feedback and changes to help it best resonate with our audience.
We accept nominations throughout the year for our quarterly RealLISTs/Awards. Nominate your company/a teammate via this form. While we accept submissions on a rolling basis, note announcement timing:
We can provide Page Views, Unique Users and Average Time on Page. For Pro and Premium level clients, we are also able to gather first party data info on readers that viewed your content if those readers are Technical.ly subscribers (ie current job title and company). If there are specific metrics or information you’d like to see, feel free to reach out and we’ll look into if it’s possible to share.
For your Directory Page and sponsored articles, we recommend including your marketing, communications and PR teams for input and approval on the content. Additionally, it may be beneficial for some people on your tech team to be aware of the partnership for certain elements including events, our public Slack and the monthly prompt questions. For the job posts, we recommend your talent and recruiting teams have access to post.
Please reach out to Aileen Connolly McNulty, Director of Client Services (aileen@technical.ly) with any subscription questions.
Sponsor Technical.ly events by including them as part of your annual package with us to receive bundled discounts; you can also purchase event sponsorships ad hoc throughout the year. The Client Services team will keep you informed of opportunities that arise throughout the year to align your organization with virtual and in-person events during quarterly review calls.
Yes; additional sponsored content + display advertising (Technical.ly daily newsletters, weekly TWIJ jobs newsletter, weekly Builders newsletter) can be purchased throughout the year. Contact aileen@technical.ly for more info.
