Writing style breakdown

Core characteristics

Overall tone: conversational, friendly, slightly informal but clearly professional and domain-expert.

Feels like a knowledgeable insider talking to peers, not a corporate brand broadcasting at strangers.

- Mix of

Informative and promotional (especially around events, webinars, reports).

Reflective and speculative (on AI, recruiting trends).

Warm and personal (especially in holiday / community posts).

- Registers used

Professional jargon in TA/HR/AI context: “TA Tech”, “candidate experience”, “disposition data”, “RecOps”, “Talent Strategy”.

Casual, spoken-language phrasing around that jargon: “we’re going bold with this one folks”, “what’s going on?”, “make sure you attend”.

Definitely not stiff-formal; more “smart casual” with a strong community organizer vibe.

Emotional tone and energy

Medium-to-high energy.

Pacing feels brisk, “news bulletin” or “event host” style, not slow or meditative.

Enthusiastic but not hypey in a shallow way. Words like “Must attend folks!” show strong encouragement.

Occasionally self-deprecating and playful: “Thank you for putting up with my bad chat this year 😂”.

Uses humour lightly as seasoning, not as the main mode.

- Frequent rhetorical questions to engage readers and open up topics

Are there any frameworks or maturity models which can help?

How do you recruit for these constabularies…?

What happened in 2025?

What is a Talent Strategy, do you have one and why is it good?

Frequent “mini-explainer” sentences summarizing an event or concept in 1–2 lines, often after a bold title.

- Likes short, emphatic declarations

Must attend folks.

We’re here folks – we are at the end of the look back series!

Repetition of certain phrases creates a consistent voice: “folks”, “Must attend folks”, “we’re going to”, “we are going to look back”.

Addressing the reader

Predominantly second-person (“you”) and first-person plural (“we”), with the author as part of the same community as the reader.

we’re going bold with this one folks – we believe…

we are going to look back at 2025 as the year…

How do you recruit…?

- First-person singular appears in more personal notes or confessions

I confess my ignorance on this so friends on LinkedIn, please help 🤣!

I’m probably going to keep posting videos…

- Direct audience engagement is common

Explicit appeals: “friends on LinkedIn, please help”

Direct questions: “Do you have one…?”

- Commands vs suggestions

CTAs are typically direct but friendly: “Make sure you attend!”, “Must attend folks!”, “check out the link below”.

Suggestions appear as mild prompts: “we’re going to cover…”, “we are pulling together…”, etc.
