Meet Mike
But I’ve also been on the other side. I’ve faced layoffs. I’ve sent out resumes into the void. I’ve felt the frustration of a hiring process that too often feels impersonal, broken, and stuck in the past. And that’s exactly why I do what I do.
I’ve spent over a decade on the inside, leading hiring at startups and big companies, sitting across from thousands of candidates, and seeing firsthand what separates the ones who get hired from the ones who don’t.
For most people, hiring is a mystery. For me, it’s been most of my career.
I started sharing my experiences and insights online because I wanted to pull back the curtain on how hiring really works. Turns out, a lot of people were looking for the truth.

Help people and organizations navigate hiring in a way that actually works.
I’ve helped companies build better hiring strategies, colleges prepare students for the real job market, and job seekers take control of their careers. Whether it’s through speaking engagements, consulting, or content, my goal is the same:
