Mark's specialty topics

Employee mental health and wellbeing Recruitment, hiring integrity, and workforce trends Workplace compliance and employer liability

Mark Rosanes is a journalist and feature writer at Key Media, where he has covered the human resources industry for Human Resources Director since 2020. He writes guides and in-depth features on HR technology and AI in HR, and on employee engagement and retention.

Mark has worked in editorial since 2009. Before joining Key Media, he spent a decade at Global Sources, the Hong Kong-listed B2B sourcing platform and one of Alibaba's largest competitors, where he rose from copy editor to managing editor across industry-specific product verticals and trade magazines.

Earlier in his career, he worked as a segment producer in sports broadcasting, covering professional basketball, boxing, volleyball, and regional multi-sport events.

His work focuses on translating complex HR topics into practical guidance for HR leaders, people managers, and workplace technology professionals.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“HR is one of the few fields where the most consequential debates are both deeply human and intensely technical, covering AI in hiring, mental health at work, and the future of the employment relationship. I find that tension genuinely interesting, and I try to cover both sides of it without losing sight of the people in the middle.”
