I’m hiring my replacement… in public. (More on what’s next for me later!)

When I started at Live Data Technologies, my directive was simple: Put content and context around our real-time job change data.

Two years later, that directive has evolved into an ecosystem-driven Marketing & Insights function that turns job change and employment data into compelling narratives, facilitates incredible partnerships, and generates demand, making Live Data seem larger than life.

As I look to hire my replacement, I thought there would be no better way to find and assess candidates than to let anyone interested in the role show their skills in public. After all, the whole point of the role is to turn job change data into insights that get shared with the world.

How will this work?

1) Get the data* We’re giving open access to a dataset of 100K+ job changes we’ve detected in 2025, the Moneyball and Moneyball Battle platforms, and the Live Data logo.

2) Find the story and visual Use the data, the platform, and your data viz and copywriting skills to surface compelling insights. Use my previous posts or news stories as inspiration or come up with a wild hypothesis about what job change data can uncover. Just make sure you’re confident in your analysis before you post and can field any follow-up questions about your process. One of the most important skills for this job is having a good bullsht meter.

3) Post it on LinkedIn A huge part of this role is sharing these insights with the world. Share your take and make it interesting (bonus points if you go viral or spark a cool influencer partnership).

4) Tag me + Live Data Technologies We’ll see it, the world will see it, and if it’s good, we’ll reach out to talk.

Other “rules” Post as many insights as you’d like but… make sure to maximize each one. We’re all subject to the LinkedIn algo gods and the role requires understanding how to get the most out of a post. Adhere to the unwritten Live Data brand guidelines… aka make sure your viz looks cool (hint: we like dark mode). The best viz isn’t always the one with the most likes. Vanity metrics are cool. Targeted insights that engage Live Data’s ICP are what pay the bills. Keep both in mind.

That’s it… it’s that simple. We’ll be watching.
