    Guest : James Ellis, Principal, Employer Brand Labs Guest links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thewarfortalent/ Website: https://employerbrandlabs.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EmployerBrandLabs Book, Becoming Choosable: https://employerbrandlabs.com/becoming-choosable From the Vault: James Ellis of Employer Brand Labs calls out the "employer bland," the careers page that could belong to anyone. He breaks employer brand down to two questions (why are you different, and why would I choose you?), explains why you want two great applicants instead of 1,000, and hands small companies a no-budget playbook. Stay to the end for a tease of what's next.
