What Is this Podcast All About

If You’ve Ever Thought…

The world of work isn’t just changing...it’s breaking in real time. Job boards are graveyards of ghost profiles. Recruiters vanish without a trace.

AI promises efficiency, yet somehow everyone sounds exactly the same. In a system built to save time and be more efficient have actually muddied the waters and made it more difficult for companies to match talent with their companies’ needs.

Welcome to Broken Work, the podcast that finally says what everyone else is whispering: the job market isn’t outdated… it’s shattered. Hosted by industry veteran Tom Johnston, this show cuts through the noise, the algorithms, and the corporate theater to reveal what’s actually happening behind the scenes… and what it’s going to take to fix it.

Tom is flipping upside down the classic search model by not just focusing on helping clients find talent, but also supporting and building relationships with candidates on their career journey. The key to a successful search is finding the right candidate and in todays market, the talent is typically ignored.

Tom isn’t here to rant. He’s here to rebuild.

Through honest conversation and decades of hard-earned insight, Broken Work exposes the systems that no longer serve us and offers real, modern strategies for job seekers, leaders, and companies who are ready to stop fighting the old rules… and start outsmarting them.

Because work isn’t broken due to a lack of effort.

It’s broken because we’re using yesterday’s playbook for today’s game.

Broken Work is the wake-up call the industry needs... and the roadmap it’s been missing. Because if we don’t rethink how we hire, grow, and keep great people, we risk losing the one thing technology can’t replace: human connection.
