HR teams love to talk about “bad candidates” and AI-generated resumes, but too often ignore the real monster in the house: their own systems. This talk takes a brutally honest look at the gaps inside modern hiring processes, from clunky applicant tracking systems to inconsistent candidate experiences. Drawing from years of in-the-trenches recruiting and viral social commentary, Mike Peditto highlights the ways internal inefficiencies and outdated mindsets kill great hiring before it even starts. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies to make their systems work for them, not against them, and to stop blaming candidates for problems that we caused ourselves.
