"Live from the Shaker Recruitment Marketing Green Room at RecFest in Nashville—where the caffeine is strong, and the opinions are stronger! On today’s episode of *The Chad & Cheese Podcast*, Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman throw down with Joel Lalgee, the brains behind The Realist Recruiter, and a guy who decided that if COVID could go viral, so could he.
Once a regular agency recruiter, Lalgee took to the interwebs during lockdown, building his own brand and adding a dash of ‘human’ to the recruiting grind. Spoiler alert: he’s on a mission to teach recruiters that acting like actual people could maybe, just maybe, get them better results. (Imagine that!) The trio digs into how recruitment is morphing into a social media game, where *#RelatableContent* and influencer swagger are now on the menu, catering to a workforce that would rather swipe right on a company’s values than read a job listing.
Oh, and if you're tired of corporate HR drama, the future Lalgee paints for recruitment might just be your jam. We’re talking more independent recruiters, slick Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) models, and enough tech tools to make your head spin. Lalgee’s 2025 plans? A content empire and an RPO model of his own—because why just recruit when you can *influence* the world to recruit your way?
Tune in to catch all this plus some spicy content strategies to keep those LinkedIn feeds nice and thirsty."
