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.

This week on Tapod we catch up with Andy Steeds—Head of Talent Acquisition at Capgemini Australia & NZ. It’s a great opportunity to revisit Capgemini’s fantastic win in the category of Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the 2025 ITAs. From managing pay gap to working within an environment of the global 'anti-movement', Capgemini navigates DE&I in a modest, understated but passionate fashion, ensuring it is at the forefront of strategy and purpose.
