Talent Match is the Aniffeagency blog. It's where we publish practical guides for people who hire specialists and for the specialists being hired: how to write a role brief, how to judge expertise you can't check yourself, how to scope contract work and how to run remote projects without losing the thread.
Articles are written by Lauren Hayes, our talent strategy and remote work writer (a disclosed editorial pen name used by the Aniffeagency content team). Each piece starts with the work that needs doing, then asks which skills, timeline and budget actually fit it.
We publish less often than a news site, on purpose. Between articles, the hiring wire pulls the latest headlines from RecruitingDaily, Undercover Recruiter and Indeed Hiring Lab, so there's always something current to read.
