The Chad & Cheese Podcast

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.

Modern Recruiter Tech Stack w/ Madeline Laurano 17.01.2022

At first glance, I didn't think this report would be very eye-opening. I. WAS. WRONG. The report stirs discussion around hard questions many HR and TA leaders have been asking themselves like. What happens when HR leaders are severely disconnected from front-line recruiters? What happens when it's harder to find recruiters than developers? What happens when recruiters turn down working for your co...

Euro Extravaganza '22 12.01.2022

(Cue the unicorn song) Oh yeah, and Gerard Mulder, CEO of Dutch company Textkernel, and recent acquirers of US-based Sovren, joins the show to give his insights on all things world-of-work. The guys also dig into s...

GREEN ROOM w/ Tim Sackett 10.01.2022

What's better than three middle-aged white guys yelling at kids to get off the lawn? How about three middle-aged white guys talking about colonoscopies, Betty White, the state of COVID in America, and video games from the '80s? That - and much more - are what Chad, Cheese, and Tim "Sackadomus" Sackett did in the green room before their prediction show. And we recorded all of it. You're welcome!

Predictions 2022 w/ Sackadomus 07.01.2022

It's that time of year again: Predictions! Where'd we get it right and (mostly) wrong in 2021? And what are the bold guesses we're making for 2022 for the world of work?

Firing Squad: Grayscale's Ty Abernethy 05.01.2022

You're probably texting right now, aren't you? And if you're not texting now, you will be soon. That's why text recruiting remains such a hot solution. And that's why industry veteran Ty Abernathy launched Grayscale. But there's a lot of competition out there - hello Canvas, TextRecruit, Emissary, Rectxt, and the rest - so escaping the Firing Squad with his pride intact is no guarantee. Did Ty sur...

What Women Want w/ Romy Newman 03.01.2022

What are the best companies to work for if you're a woman in 2021? Female-focused employee review site Fairygodboss is a good place to start.

And if you didn't make it onto a Best of list this year, Romy tells you how you might get on the list in 2022.

Paradox Unicorns while Randstad Face Plants 31.12.2021

Turns out, recording this podcast was the only thing standing between Chad & Cheese and a bottomless bottle of Blanton's to ring in the New Year ... so hold the small talk and get to the point. This show is tight, discussing everything from Paradox' latest unicorn-birthing round of investment, fundraising by Monster - wait, who? - and, well, we had to end the year on some TikTok chatter, didn't we...

Best of 2021 - Chad's Picks 03.12.2021

The Chad and Cheese have been podcasting since March of 2017 and have published nearly 800 episodes! During that time they have never pulled together a "Best of The Chad and Cheese" compilation, which highlights conversations, topics, and their deeply sarcastic opinions.  That's just absurd,  ... an oversight,  ... and something which needed to be rectified.  (Drumroll please)  Welcome to the very...
