For the final episode of the Summer Series on Tapod Bonnie has chosen her favourite from 2024 and we (re)catch up with James Ellis... and WOW! If you don’t think you need to know what Employer Brand is all about you are wrong. It’s all about finding something to give you a difference – and that’s something we all need – especially when trying to cut through the noise to candidates.

We discuss James’ latest book – The Laws of Employer Branding and it is equal parts fascinating and valuable, and we unpack Lauren’s dating life.

It is one of the most interesting chats we have ever had!
Thanks to Bonnie and to TaPod Connect for supporting the Summer Series. We're back next week with brand new content!

For our second week of the TaPod Summer Series, it's Craig's choice, and he chose a fascinating episode where we are joined by Al Schirmer – Talent Tech Strategist who has recently taken on a huge Global Role. But before he did, we grabbed him to take the temperature of Rec-Tech. We cover AI (of course), Skills-based recruitment and many other solutions and tech we may not have otherwise thought about. You need to be over this – you really do, and thanks to Al we have all the answers.
A Big Cheers to TaPod Connect for supporting the Summer Series!

​That's right it's that time of year again! We know you're missing TaPod during the Summer, so it's time we looked back on our favourite episodes from 2024.

​Today Lauren & Jo Vo bring your their favourite, and it's only got more important as the year rolled on.

Sometimes you get lucky… very lucky. T​o​day we have the unimaginable pleasure of speaking with Dr Louise Newson – World Leader… that’s right WORLD LEADER in Menopause awareness and treatment. The good Doc has over half a million Instagram followers, she hosts the number 1 medical podcast in the UK, she is a best-selling author, has opened specialist menopause clinics all over England and we are incredibly lucky to speak with her.

51% of the population experience menopause and the other 49% know someone who has experienced it. The symptoms vary, but will almost certainly affect them in the workplace – but we never f*&king talk about it? Why? In this poddie we tackle everything from the stigma… the symptoms… HRT…how we can make positive change in the workplace, and much more. It’s not often we go on record saying this is ‘must listen’ or that this episode has the capacity to change lives – but this one really does. Please listen, if not for you then for a friend or family member and then share it far and wide. We’re joining Louise’s mission and we hope you will too.

​Have a great Summe from everyone at Tapod!
