In this lively Chad and Cheese podcast episode, our courageous hosts tackle the recruitment world with wit and sarcasm. They mourn the downfall of job board giants CareerBuilder and Monster, now on the clearance rack, as private equity bean counters strip them bare. Chad laments their lack of vision, while Joel predicts three fates: a ZipRecruiter roll-up, a Recruit Holdings acquisition, or an international player snagging a cheap U.S. foothold. J.T. scoffs, saying job seekers hate these brands and job boards are dinosaurs. The trio then roasts Indeed's late-to-the-party conversational AI tools, with Chad calling them five years behind and Joel comparing Indeed's struggles to Apple's innovation slump. J.T. notes Indeed's trust issues, with scam texts spiking 500%. Meanwhile, SmartRecruiters' bold AI platform, Winston, earns praise for its forward-thinking pivot, unlike Workday's Josh Bersin propaganda machine and iCIMS' press-release snooze. They wrap with a dive into the creator economy, where user-generated content is outpacing traditional media. J.T. cheers the shift to monetizing knowledge, urging everyone to jump in, while Chad stresses the need for a business model to cash in. Oh, and Joel sneaks in a Beach Boys tribute, Father's Day shout-outs, and a NSFW OnlyFans anecdote, because why not?

With AI redefining how work gets done, the pressure is mounting to move beyond legacy structures and rethink HR from the ground up.

In today's episode: Nowadays, investors prioritize explosive growth over everything else--even profit is a secondary concern. The result is companies constantly searching for new, bigger ways to expand past their core product--the thing they were good at in the first place. With the constant need for growth comes innovation. On the downside, culture is hard to maintain, management is overextended, and risk escalates.

In today's episode: Companies are analogous to societies: they work best when the organization strives to work for everyone, regardless of ambition, skill, and education. The human cost of layoffs is immense. When an arm of the business is failing, it may be worth redeploying and redeveloping employees: it shows faith and gives them a sense of confidence. Democratic processes can be slow, but they build consensus. That kind of momentum is powerful.

King Kong vs. Godzilla. Rocky vs. Apollo Creed. Democrat vs. Republican. People love a good showdown, and the world of work is no different. This week's show highlights the trending conflicts between Google against OpenAI, Deel against Rippling, RTO against WFH, Labor against Capital ... and most importantly, Elon against Everybody. Beyond that, the boys are talkin' layoffs at Beamery, Josh Bersin's Galileo™, and Twitter ... er, X's new job search design. With Thanksgiving in America right around the corner, consider this week's show a solid appetizer for what's sure to be an overrated meal of dry turkey, runny potatoes, and undercooked stuffing.

HR departments struggle to be all things to all stakeholders while delivering on the most strategic priorities of the business. But when we dig into the OS of HR, we find a resource-constrained function that contains multitudes. Long range people priorities are deemed negotiable, HR's domain expertise isn't respected, and the function acts as a service-provider when it should be guiding the organization's evolution. This week, Rodney Evans sits down with HR industry giant Josh Bersin to discuss his book Irresistible: The Seven Secrets of the World's Most Enduring, Employee-Focused Organizations and dig into how HR must transform itself to enable a shift to more profitable, resilient, human organizations. They explore what makes a company “irresistible,” the tidal wave that is AI, and the critical role HR plays in shifting a workplace's culture.
