There are a ton of great HR/Recruitment blogs. But which ones get the most traction and are right for you?
We’ve compiled a list of the top 100 HR blogs by organic traffic they receive via Google and search engines (see Methodology below).
Ongig, of course, has its own recruiting blog — you’re reading it right now! Just to show that we aren’t “padding our own stats” as they say, Ongig’s blog didn’t even break the top 10 (we’re #19).
Wow, 18 other blogs beat us in traffic! We love competing with greatness!
Methodology
We researched all human resource blogs we know. This includes general HR blogs, recruiting blogs, talent acquisition blogs, employer branding blogs and more. We ran them through an SEO (search engine optimization) tool called ahrefs to give us an “Organic Traffic” score. ahrefs defines this as “The target website, subsection, or URL’s estimated monthly organic traffic from search.” Here’s a screenshot from ahrefs with an example of the Ongig Blog’s Organic traffic:
The organic traffic number represents an estimate by ahrefs of the volume of Google traffic going to these HR blogs. ahrefs isn’t perfect but it provides a third-party “apples-to-apples” measurement to compare web sites/pages. A few other notes:
- This is organic (not total) traffic — We’re using ahref’s measurement of organic traffic because we find it to be the best apples-to-apples comparison of traffic to HR blog pages.
- Sorry if we missed a blog — we tried to be as inclusive as we could but we have surely missed some great blogs. Please add a comment below with the name of any hiring blog you think we missed and we’ll gladly research them for future updates.
- Awesome HR Blogs (Untrackable) — There’s a second list at the end of this article with blogs that ahrefs didn’t track in a fair, apples-to-apples way. We explain more details about them in that section. Make sure to check those blogs out as they put out some outstanding content.
- Top 3 Articles — ahrefs provides an estimate of the top 3 articles for each blog. We included them to give you a flavor of some content that these top 100 hiring blogs provide.
Ok, here we go…these are the top 100 HR/Recruitment blogs we found!

Awesome HR & Recruitment Blogs (Untrackable)
There are a number of other awesome hiring blogs that we did not include above because tracking them through ahrefs would be an “apples-to-oranges”comparison. The detailed reason that these HR blogs are in this section instead is:
- They are a newsletter (e.g. Recruiting Brainfood). This newsletter by Hung Lee is sent by email but all the content is available on their Web site. The # of people reading this content would likely rank in the top 20 of all online HR content providers)
- They are a blog but their articles’ traffic is not counted because the blog articles are in a different folder.
- They are a mostly product-oriented blog with a small % of agnostic content (e.g. Workday’s blog)
