Torin Ellis
Torin Ellis is a well-known diversity strategist, published author of Rip The Resume, and former Host of Career Mix (SiriusXM), and podcaster of Crazy and The King (iTunes & Spotify). As a tenured practitioner, he addresses talent development and recruitment through the leadership lens. Engagements range from surgically sourcing and securing high impact talent, curating conversations around bias/race and inclusion in the workplace, to setting strategy for internal recruiting teams.
Far too often people are looking for a cookie cutter approach. They're looking for a connect the dot type formula and I don't feel D&I works that way. It would be irresponsible of me to tell you that a best practice in this company is going to work in your organization, without me doing strategic exploration and finding out where you are.
