TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

Get strapped in for a special episode of Tapod, where we sit down with James Ellis—Global Talent Strategy Expert, best-selling author, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. 

EB has evolved into Talent Strategy, and here is your chance to come along for the ride. There are a million different gold nuggets of inspiration here… from helping recruiters escape from the cost-centre box... killer candidates over a full funnel… every company has a point of difference and a heap more.

But don’t take our word for it. Take a listen yourself and then book your seat for the Masterclass in Melbourne in September—that's right James is headed our way, and it will sell out quicker than a Swifty concert. Check out the link in the show notes. 

Thanks to the team from Video My for supporting this episode and the masterclass.

Buckle in for a special episode of Tapod, where we sit down with Cliff Jurkiewicz, VP Global Strategy & Futurist at Phenom. I have to say this was one of the most interesting conversations I have ever had. From early life as a touring rock star to piloting his own plane and dealing with family tragedy, Cliff has had quite the life. And it doesn’t stop there… The insights into ‘the death of industrial-age recruitment,' the divorce between HR & Talent and a perfect storm of technological and generational change are mind-blowing. Cliff will certainly be back with us, but in the meantime, enjoy this scintillating chat!
