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.

Indeed's FUBAR UX 19.02.2021

"Indeed gives zero fucks about employers!!!"... Yes, that's a quote from an employer... and No you're not surprised. What do you get when you cross Indeed desperation with Facebook hubris and throw in a dash of Google humility? This week's podcast, of course. What's more? Entelo's ongoing meltdown, Recruitee's (don't call it an) "acquisition" and the grownups taking over at VONQ. Recruitee and Sym...

Firing Squad: Caroo's Gareth Peterson 17.02.2021

UK-based and focused Caroo has tickled the industry's funny bone recently.

Yeah, they can cut through the clutter, but does their product have what it takes to face the Firing Squad and come out alive? You'll just have t...

Exorcising Our Demons 14.02.2021

Crazy shit has been going down, right?  What we need right now is a good exorcism.  But it's so damned hard to allow your demons out for everyone to see, let alone exorcise them. If you live in the U.S. or have been watching the events over the past four years the demons are out, but not even close to exorcised. The Chad & Cheese sit down with Torin Ellis for a series of very uncomfortable convers...

Adzuna CEO and Founder Doug Monro have a thing or two to say about Google's anti-competitive practices, particularly around job search.

In addition to search, Doug has a lot to say about programmatic advertising, fraudulent job postings...

Indeed Gets Penalized 05.02.2021

When I grow up ... Super Bowl ads in our industry are back with Indeed's decision to drop $10 million-plus on an ad in the Big Game. Oh yeah, we have a lot to say about that. What's more?
