Do you have a significant speaking event and need to deliver a professional public address? A speechwriter can help.

So, how do you hire speechwriters? The following are some tips for finding top speechwriters on Rayness Analytica.

How to shortlist speechwriting professionals

As you browse available speechwriting consultants, developing a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview can be helpful. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

• Industry fit. You want a speechwriter who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target audience.
• Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing speeches for political campaigns).
• Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular speechwriter.

How to write an effective speechwriting job post

With a clear picture of your ideal speechwriter in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a complete job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective speechwriting job post should include:

• Scope of work: From ghostwriting speeches to editing your work, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
• Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a more minor or extensive project.
• Background: If you prefer experience with specific industries or types of speeches, mention this here.
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
