Dear TA Friends and Subscribers,
I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new podcast series, "The Next Step"!
What This Series Is About
AI has landed on talent acquisition like "a big old boulder from on high." You're either excited about the possibilities or terrified of the implications. Both reactions are completely valid.
What's missing is a practical roadmap for using AI to solve real recruiting problems without the vendor demos, wishful thinking, or hype.
What Makes This Series Different
Each episode will analyze real challenges from actual TA leaders and show exactly how to use off-the-shelf AI tools to solve them. No sales pitches, no paid sponsorships - just actionable solutions you can implement today.
Episode 1 Is Live!
In our debut episode, I tackle three challenges faced by Mark Smith from Medtronic based on his episode of Talent Acquisition Leaders (check out the original episode here):
Extending employer brand recognition - How to engage candidates who've never heard of your company
Moving from transactional to strategic TA - Transforming intake forms and recruiter consultations
Building team capabilities - Helping recruiters effectively communicate with specialized talent
What's Coming Next
Future episodes will feature different TA leaders' challenges across various industries and company sizes. I'll be scanning recent podcast interviews with TA leaders to identify problems we can solve together.
How You Can Be Featured
Have a recruiting challenge you'd like solved? Connect with me on LinkedIn and leave a voice message. Your question might be featured in an upcoming episode!
The "Payment" I'm Asking For
If you find the podcast valuable, tell someone else about it. That's how we all take the next step together.
Here's to taking the next step,
James Ellis
Employer Brand Labs
P.S. Don't worry about subscribing to yet another "big transformation" program. This series is about taking just one meaningful step forward with AI at a time. I'd love to hear what you think of the first episode!
