Mike Peditto Speaking Topics
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of in-the-trenches recruiting and viral social commentary, Mike Peditto highlights the ways internal inefficiencies and outdated mindsets kill great hiring before it even starts.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.
Employer branding isn’t about pretty career pages anymore, it’s about trust. And trust is built by real people saying real things. This session challenges companies and leaders to ditch sterile corporate content and start showing up online in ways that actually connect. Mike Peditto shares practical frameworks for weaving personal voices into brand strategy, drawing from viral campaigns, successful talent brands, and his own experience building a powerful public presence. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to humanize their messaging, grow their reach, and actually attract the talent and audiences they want.
AI is everywhere, but most teams are either underusing it or misunderstanding it. In this straight-talking session, Mike Peditto separates hype from reality.

Every industry is being reshaped by rapid technological and cultural change. Leaders who adapt their communication, branding, and talent strategies now will define the next decade. In this forward-looking talk, Mike Peditto cuts through the buzzwords and focuses on the real shifts changing how organizations operate, from AI and digital hiring tools to the expectation that companies and leaders show up authentically online. Attendees will walk away with a clearer picture of what “future-ready” actually looks like and practical strategies to stay relevant in a landscape that rewards transparency, agility, and trust. Perfect for executives and teams who want to stay ahead of the curve rather than react to it.
Being great at what you do isn’t enough if no one knows about it.
