Today, my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is James Ellis. James is obsessed with using employer branding to make hiring better for recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. He's written three books on the subject, including Talent Chooses You, which has been referred to as the new Bible of the industry, The Change Agent newsletter, and is about to launch his third podcast, The Definition of Insanity.
