WHO THE HELL ARE THESE GUYS?

Chad & Cheese are the hosts of HR’s Most Dangerous Podcast and the snarkiest of industry analysts

WHAT THE HELL DO THEY KNOW?

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.

WARNING:

Chad & Cheese is explicit. Meaning they say exactly what’s on their minds. And without a filter.

In short, Chad & Cheese are ultra plugged in and know their shit. Now, you can, too.

CHAD SOWASH

Chad Sowash has worked in the HR, Talent Acquisition, and HR Tech space for over 20 years consulting hundreds of Fortune 500 companies like AT&T, Lockheed Martin, and The Ford Motor Company to name a few. Chad 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 the startup DirectEmployers Association, steer RecruitMilitary toward revenue as CXO and build Randstad's first military veteran hiring program. Today, you can find him behind the mic at events, and/or working his ass off challenging the norm on HR's Most Dangerous Podcast.

JOEL CHEESMAN

The yin to Chad’s yang—get it?—is Joel Cheesman, 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 probably know him from his days as Cheezhead. Joel likes to tinker, which means he’s started a variety of businesses, including his latest venture: a market sentiment platform called Poach.
