About the Podcast:

Bringing more than 40 years of combined experience to the podcast industry, Chad & Cheese add a unique perspective and brash flavor to the generally bland stew of hum-drum “yes-yes” and ass-kiss rhetoric that you normally get from people in recruitment.

Chad Sowash is a former Army Infantry drill sergeant, who cut his teeth in online recruitment in ’98 with an outfit called Online Career Center before it launched in ’99 as Monster.com. He went on to build DirectEmployers from the ground up, steer RecruitMilitary toward revenue as CXO and build Randstad's first military veteran hiring program. Today, you can find him speaking at events, podcasting, or just working his ass off as principal partner at Catch 22 Consulting.

Joel Cheesman is another recruiting industry tech geek from the late ‘90s, when he worked at eSpan, one of the world’s first job boards, as well as JobOptions, CareerBoard, Jobing, and Recruiting.com. He also did partnership shit at EmployeescreenIQ. but you might know him from his days as Cheezhead. Joel likes to tinker, he’s started a variety of businesses, including his latest venture: an employer-review aggregator called Ratedly.
