Evergreen Podcasts

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.

The Chad & Cheese Podcast

From Google’s “flock of dead canaries” warning shot to Meta’s latest identity crisis, this episode is jam-packed with chaos. Recruitix buys a mystery box, Nestlé boots its CEO over an office fling, and Taco Bell AI goes full waterpark mode. Oh, and Chipotle drones are now dropping burritos from the sky. You can’t make this stuff up—so we didn’t.

What happens when you mix SmartRecruiters, a global AI pivot, and a comms pro who loves to “shake shit up”? You get Allyn Bailey dropping truth bombs on everything from why legacy ATS platforms should be left in a museum next to floppy disks, to how scheduling interviews is apparently the Mount Everest of HR tech problems.

Joel and Chad dig into:

 
Why “feature bloat” is killing platforms faster than a buffet kills willpower

 
The rise of AI agents that make every TA leader feel “special” (just like their mom told them)

 
How SmartRecruiters is “releasing the Kraken” on AI adoption—while trying not to terrify every compliance officer on Earth

 
Why Kenya and Eastern Europe are quietly kicking everyone else’s ass on AI innovation

 
And yes… the most celebrated use case for AI in recruiting is still… scheduling.

It’s part therapy session, part roast, part masterclass in how to burn down old TA processes without getting fired.

Strap in. Season 3 of The AI Sessions is here.

AI in Hiring: Trust, Safety, and Why Compliance Freaks Out

Workday Buys Paradox | HR Tech’s Biggest AI Move Yet?

Shredded: Dayforce, Pintarnya, Folks, Glow Talents, ZipRecruiter, Workday, Paradox & More

Marriott’s Tyler Weeks joins Chad & Cheese to unpack what it’s like running HR for a million humans (and possibly a few Roombas).

Expect:

 
Ritz-Carlton ghosting Joel harder than his prom date.

 
Why Marriott’s HR is basically 9,000 mom-and-pop shops in a trench coat.

 
The shocking discovery that AI doesn’t make great recruiters greater—it just stops the bad ones from lighting themselves on fire.

 
CFO ROI math so sketchy it belongs in a late-night infomercial.

 
And the big AI fix for fake résumés and deepfakes? Drag ‘em into the lobby for an old-fashioned, in-person interview.

This is hospitality meets HR Tech chaos—and Tyler’s got the room service order. 🍸

Listen :)

How Marriott Tackles AI, Complexity, and Fake Candidates

Forget the Eiffel Tower, kids—we’re climbing the recruitment rollercoaster instead. Upwork’s shopping spree in Holland (Bupty? Buptie? Bupkis?), Denmark’s going full Face/Off to keep Nic Cage off Viggo’s jawline, and the UK is suddenly allergic to Fridays.

Joel’s out dropping Cole at college, so Chad is joined by Belgium’s royal pain Lieven and Scotland’s deep-fried-pizza poet Stephen McGrath. Loud Americans, entitled tourists, and the four-day work week—this one’s got more punch than a Glasgow nightclub at 2 a.m.

👉 Press play. Europe’s never been so dangerously entertaining.

Upwork & Indeed Target Randstad

Shredded: Visage, Rolebot, Workday, Upwork, Professional.me, Deel, & More

Domino’s isn’t just delivering pizza in 30 minutes or less anymore—they’re trying to deliver candidates, too. In this episode, we sit down with Matt King, Director of HR Tech at Domino’s, to talk AI, ATS drama, and why franchisees always have “better ideas” than corporate.

From killing off Kenexa (RIP, nobody misses you) to jumping into bed with SmartRecruiters, Domino’s is betting big on speed, automation, and a sprinkle of chatbot charm. Matt spills on:

 
Why hiring at Domino’s must be as fast as ordering a pepperoni with extra cheese.

 
How chatbots went from clunky decision trees to almost-human assistants (minus the dad jokes).

 
What happens when franchisees get in a room with vendors.

 
The eternal struggle between human touch and “just let the damn bot send the background check reminder.”

 
And yes—we even asked about the Noid. Because if Domino’s doesn’t bring him back as a recruiting chatbot, what are we even doing here?

It’s tech, pizza, and questionable morals—just another day on The Chad & Cheese Podcast: AI Sessions.

Domino’s HR Tech Transformation with Matt King

Technology disruption. We hear it a lot, but what does it really mean in the world of work? Pontoon's Tim Meehan seems to have it all figured out, as he nicely lays out in the presentations he does around the globe. Enter Chad & Cheese who say, "We'll be the judge of that."

All the buzzwords are here: AI, blockchain, automation ... and even (lord, help us) TikTok! If you like looking around corners, this one's for you.

You can thank our friends at Sovren for delivering this lovely EXCLUSIVE!
