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.

Deel & Rippling Spy Games
This week, Chad, Joel, and Emi dive into a juicy HR tech scandal—Rippling’s suing Deel over an alleged espionage plot, complete with a spy, Slack secrets, and a smashed phone. Meanwhile, ZipRecruiter lands a Fast Company nod but flops with job seekers as confidence plunges. Klarna’s IPO filing flexes big numbers, but its AI-driven layoffs raise eyebrows. And at Nvidia’s GTC, AI takes center stage—from GM’s self-driving push to Yum Brands’ futuristic drive-thrus. Is Nvidia still the gold standard? Buckle up for a wild ride on Chad & Cheese!
