Hiring hasn’t got easier, it’s just got noisier.


In this episode of the Hiring Excellence podcast, Johnny is joined by Robert Whitehouse, Chief People Officer at MiQ, to talk about what’s really breaking hiring today and why the fix isn’t another shiny tool.


They explore:

• Why in-person connection still matters in a digital-first world

• What “good interviewing” actually looks like (and why most managers aren’t taught it)

• How better alignment between recruiters and hiring managers improves quality, speed, and confidence


If hiring feels harder than it should, this conversation will feel very familiar.
