Description

Is This Still A Good Time? is the podcast where recruiters finally ask themselves the same question they’ve asked candidates thousands of times: is this still a good time? Hosted by Mike Peditto, each episode digs into the messy, funny, and all-too-real world of recruiting today. From building trust with skeptical hiring managers to surviving counter-offers, recruiter burnout, and the flood of AI tools reshaping the industry, Mike and his guests share candid stories, practical advice, and the occasional recruiting nightmare. Whether you’re a veteran talent pro or just starting out, you’ll find honest conversations about what’s broken in hiring, what actually works, and how community keeps us all going when the job gets tough. Mike Peditto is a seasoned recruiter, writer, and creator whose unfiltered insights have made him a trusted voice in the talent acquisition space. Known for his engaging newsletter and his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom on LinkedIn, he blends humor with hard-earned experience from years in both corporate and agency recruiting. Mike’s passion lies in building community among recruiters and giving job seekers a transparent look behind the curtain of the hiring process.
