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.

Tech: A Force for Good DEI
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are on the lips of Talent Acquisition professionals all over the world.Many of those companies talk-the-talk when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion, but most do not walk-the-walk.

The company has committed to going above and beyond talking about diversity by actually becoming a force, beyond press releases and empty rhetoric and it all starts with an anti-racism stance to doing the work.Enter founder and CEO Jerome Ternynck on the podcast to dig into what's going on at the company, and learn what others in the space can do to model themselves after SmartRecruiters. Another The Chad & Cheese podcast challenging the status quo, powered by Nexxt. How are you going to target more diverse candidates for that requisition you just opened?

Personio Rides the Dinosaur
It's a new day in America. New president. New Vice President, who's also a minority woman! The new attitude in the New World, if you will. The sun rose and the weight has been lifted. Unfortunately for you, dear listener, this is the same craptastic podcast you've grown to love (or at least tolerate). Rejoice!This week, money continues to flow as Personio rides the dinosaur HR industry into "Unicorn" status and a game of Buy-or-Sell ensues. Alabama is ground zero for workers-of-the-world uniting against Amazon, ya'll, WFH is a financial coup for companies while workers get f'd, and lastly, Brits think they know best when it comes to mood tracking. Hey, this isn't the '70s! Take that mood ring nonsense and put it in your fish-and-chips!Anyway, enjoy this Sovren, JobAdx, & Jobvite powered production.
