Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, premiums and trajectories, across 181 HR creators and 10,582 HR posts. Run it on your own profile, side by side with anyone on this list.

Which HR creators just missed the top 20?

Five names sit behind the cut, between 10 and 50 likes below number twenty:

Loubna Tigroussine (#21) and Alexandre Ducros (#22) are the volume case. Each published about 120 HR posts in 12 months, a third of their feed or more, and every one of those posts counts toward the median.

Alexandre Ducros, who founded a recruiting firm for finance profiles, also places third in the efficiency table below.

Which LinkedIn HR creators have the highest engagement rate?

Raw likes flatter the largest followings, so divide by reach: engagement rate on HR posts, median likes divided by followers (20k followers and over). Here the order barely moves at the top:

Four of the five also sit in the top 20, three of them in its first four places: Juhi Bhatia (#4), Carsten Maschmeyer (#1) and Rob Dance (#2), plus Quentin Chatelier (#16).

The top 20 itself runs from Juhi Bhatia's 1.07% down to Roberta Storey's 0.05%. For how HR compares with other subjects, see our study of LinkedIn engagement rate by topic.

Which HR creators get the most total likes on LinkedIn?

One more cut counts the total likes on HR posts over 12 months, where frequent posters gain ground:

Thibaut Roudaut leads on 189 posts without placing in the top 25 on median, and Cécile Derouin reaches seventh on 130. Carsten Maschmeyer takes the opposite route: fourth on just 14 posts, with Juhi Bhatia fifth on 16.

Four of the eight come from the top 20, so in HR the volume cut and the median cut only partly agree.

Which LinkedIn HR creator gets the most comments per post?

This cut divides comments by likes. Among creators with 100+ median likes, the record in our HR pool belongs to Steven Claes (#19): 198 median comments against 329 median likes, about three comments for every five likes.

Christopher Rainey, who hosts the HR Leaders podcast, comes second (49 against 108), and Amy Miller, a recruiting manager in the space industry, third (62 against 138). The typical top-20 creator gets one comment for every 12 likes.

Are the top LinkedIn HR creators full-time HR voices?

No. Of the 181 creators who post about HR consistently, 22 give it at least half their feed, and none of them makes the top 20. Dave Ulrich comes closest at 33%, ahead of Adeline Perez (28%) and Quentin Chatelier (27%).

At the other end sit Roberta Storey and Daniela Luque Díaz, at 2% each, and Rob Dance at 3%.

The premium goes to these tourists. The four largest premiums belong to creators who give HR 11% of their feed or less: Melissa Grabiner (+168%), Ghyslain Morvan (+136%), Bryan Creely (+122%) and Carlos Aravena (+105%). The three most dedicated earn between 10% and 22% more.

Few of the twenty work in HR. Seven write from the hiring side or for job seekers: resume writers, recruiters, a job-search coach. Two are comedians.

The HR function itself is represented by a professor, a chief HR officer and a change consultant. Three of the most liked posts on this page argue against age bias in hiring: those of Ghyslain Morvan, Roberta Storey and Melissa Grabiner.

The top 20 spans ten countries. Six creators are based in the United States, five in France and two in the United Kingdom, with one each in Germany, the United Arab Emirates, India, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and Belgium.

Nine of the twenty most liked posts on this page are not in English.

Country by country rankings: the United States, France, the UK, Germany, the UAE, India, Spain, Belgium, the full series.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How we ranked the top LinkedIn HR creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through 10,582 HR posts from the last 12 months and ranked 181 creators by median likes on their HR posts.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

• Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 10 HR posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

• Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

• HR posts only: our own classifier tags each post's theme, and only HR posts count.

• HR posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

• Per creator: share of feed, premium over their own median, yearly trajectories, engagement rate and comment ratio.

Half of the twenty medians rest on 10 to 20 HR posts, our #1's on 14 and our #2's on 10, so a few posts can move a rank. Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any HR creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, trajectory) and benchmark your own profile against the pool. The data on this page is the product.
