Part expert, part evangelist, James will get your audience to see the problem of recruiting and hiring in a whole new way.
“His out-of-the box thinking and daring honesty
will change the way you think of recruiting completely.”
Meet the highly-rated speaker you've seen at ERE, RecruitCon, RecFest, SHRM, Transform, Hired Roadshow, Social Recruiting Strategies Conference, ALI, Talent Brand Summit, HR Tech Expo and numerous other industry events.
James has been a featured keynote at in-house conferences for Coca-Cola, Kohler, Concept Bureau, Alstom, Schlumberger, Deutsche Bahn Group, MOL Group, Twitter, Indeed, and many others.
James is committed to helping every business hire better by re-thinking their employer brand and using cutting-edge recruitment marketing strategies.
It’s a recipe for talent acquisition success: Take two parts marketing and branding experience, one part recruiting and talent acquisition thought leadership. Add a dash of fearlessness and a willingness to breaking unwritten rules. Shake well and serve in the funniest container you can find.
James Ellis isn’t your average speaker. He brings wit, energy and humor to subjects you might expect to be dry. He combines years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 10 companies to 12-person agencies understand their own employer brands, activate them, and connect them to their investment in recruitment marketing. Then he makes it interesting and funny while still being valuable and actionable.
I specialize in opening keynotes to get people excited and the post-lunch speaking slot where everyone seems like they are in a low-blood sugar coma. I combine energy and humor with a powerful message to make sure your event is memorable and useful.

Seriously, I’ve never walked away from a conference session with so many action items that I can put to use tomorrow.
You were absolutely wonderful. Really funny and engaging too!

Just fill out the form and we can talk about what kind of presentation will make you look like a rock star.
Having spent the better part of a decade developing employer brands and EVPs for Groupon, Roku, Enova, Recursion, TradeShift, SavATree, Gearset, CreditShop, and others, I focus exclusively on helping companies build and activate their employer brand so that they can compete (and win) against much larger companies. How? By creating and growing the next generation of employer brand leaders, managers, and specialists.
That's why Google calls me the employer brand nerd.
