The Chad & Cheese Podcast
Evergreen Podcasts
Everything people and workforce—recruiting, marketing, technology, talent management, and workforce economics—delivered with biting sarcasm and unapologetic snark. Industry misfits Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman bring their no-holds-barred opinions to dissect news, trends, and the occasional dumpster fire. If you’re a hiring company, staffing firm, or vendor looking for insights (and a thick skin), these two won’t just tell you what’s happening—they’ll tell you why you’re probably doing it wrong. Buckle up, buttercup.

Bullhorn Acquires Herefish
So why did Bullhorn pull out the checkbook?
"On average, Herefish automates 7.2 million actions per month and saves over 2 1/2 hours per recruiter per day." That's 2 1/2 hours of not doing stupid admin shit, rather the 2 1/2 hours with their nose stays to the grindstone or just more time on TikTok. Seriously Tiktok is the bomb...

Enjoy this Sovren exclusive.
