The Chad & Cheese Podcast

Hey kids, this week Joel was in San Diego at ERE and Chad was in San Francisco at a Biddle Consulting Group Institute Summit – swanky right? Luckily between naps Joel was able to get some quick interviews from: VideoMyJob – Kristen Graham, Co-founder YouVisit – Erik Carlson, National Ad Director Seekout – Anoop Gupta, CEO AllyO – Ankit Somani. Co-founder Look for these companies to get in front of the FIRING SQUAD very soon. Give it up for our sponsors. Lots of wallet share love should be bestowed upon America’s Job Exchange, Sovren, Ratedly and JobAdX – only one X. Enjoy!

Another Nexxt exclusive podcast, the boys sit down with two of the hottest TA tech companies in the vendor space: Clinch and Smashfly. Enjoy.

After a bit of hiatus and a stint at the Guiness Recover Unit at the local hospital, Chad & Cheese are back in the groove, sticking it to everyone who, let’s be honest, deserve it. Here’s a taste: Indeed’s new commercial has us scratching our heads and cussing the death of a great tune. Oh yeah, Indeed official raised prices too Google baby-steps into candidate search, but we suspect bigger ambitions LinkedIn gets its Snapchat on A NYC councilman has lost his damned mind Old people keep getting screwed Weed continues to be a magnet for investment cash, even in online recruitment … and a boatload more, boys and girls. Enjoy, and give our sponsors your wallets. Because, we said so. Lots of love to America’s Job Exchange, Sovren, Ratedly and NKOTB, JobAdX.

People on LinkedIn aren’t looking for a job and too many candidates on job boards aren’t qualified. Therein lies the heart of start-up Uncommon.co and how it hopes to break through the crowded space of recruitment technology. The company says it uses AI technology trained on over 50 million career paths and analyzes applicant resumes for hard skills, like expertise in data science or kinesiology, by looking for factors like degrees attained or years in a role; soft skills, like creativity and entrepreneurship, are found by extrapolating skills necessary for success in past jobs. Chad & Cheese put Teg Grenager, CEO, through the gauntlet and see if his company has what it takes to make it in the world of recruiting. The companies that put $18 million in their company recently certainly hope so. And after listening, be sure to checkout Jobs2Careers, exclusive sponsor of the show. Jobs 2 Awesome, more like it!

A Nexxt exclusive! One of the biggest treats from our time at TAtech in Ireland this month was the opportunity to see Hire with Google’s Bogomil Balkansky, VP Cloud Recruiting Solutions, present. A bigger treat was the opportunity to interview Bogomil at the social event from the Guinness brewery in Dublin. Enjoy.

The boys take their act across the Atlantic for TAtech Europe, conveniently scheduled around St. Patrick’s Day. Sláinte!

Call it the International Women’s Day episode, although it’s mostly about Millennial-bashing. This week: United Airlines does a U-turn on bonus lottery Glassdoor sends out conflicting messages about a price increase Burger King torches traditional recruitment advertising Jobu Jobs is the new “Tinder for jobs” player Activision coddles its Millennial employees … and a friggin’ bunch more, yo! Like always, go show out sponsors some love. America’s Job Exchange, Sovren, Ratedly, Catch 22 Consulting and our newest sponsor, JobAdX rock the house! And special thanks to Nexxt and Jobs2Careers for sponsoring our monthly shows.

Enjoy and give our sponsors – Sovren, America’s Job Exchange, Ratedly, Nexxt, Jobs2Careers and Catch 22 Consulting – a blank check.  

Money continues to flow into HR tech companies and people are still launching job boards. Yeah, you heard that right. Job boards. C’mon, really? The boys break down all the latest news. WorkHere pivots Find.jobs launches (is it now officially a failed experiment?) HireMaturity launches. Eons 2.0? Dynamic Signal get $36.5 million Vettery gets acquired for a rumored $100 million StatusToday scares the hell out of us! And a Halloween beat down that ended badly … very badly. Enjoy.

The Chad and Cheese listeners know that Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has taken center stage as the bright and shiny objects of the recruitment industry over the last year, but what about the entrance of ​Blockchain and Cryptocurrency? What the Hell does Blockchain and Cryptocurrency have to do with RECRUITING? We haven’t a damned clue which is why we have Jeff Tennery the CEO of Moonlighting.com is on the podcast to answer questions like: – Why do we need Blockchain Recruiting? – What could cryptocurrency mean to the world talent economy? – What the Hell is a Moonbit? – and … Is Moonlighting backed by Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd?
