The Chad & Cheese Podcast

Hallelujah podcasts can't be impeached! Because Chad & Cheese are always dancing on the line of what's legal in at least 17 states, and this week is no exception. Let's start with a big investment in popular ATS Greenhouse, then play a little Buy or Sell with a handful of other startup investments that went down this week. After that, the boys look into HireVue's latest pivot out of facial tech and discuss why others may follow their lead. Then, let's bookend the whole episode by discussing chatbot zombies. Yeah, we're not right in the head, but we go great with a nice bottle of bourbon on a cold night. Enjoy another week, sponsored by Jobvite, Sovren, and JobAdx.

It was just a joke to some when it burst onto the recruitment landscape years ago, but Tengai, the robot recruiter born in Sweden is still here, suckers. And now it speaks English, so the boys thought it was worth a chat about what's going on with the company, the tech, and that craziness that is Swedes eating rotten fish. Yuck! Virus-free, fluent in English and a little less creep than last year, Tengai isn't going anywhere. They don't care about your shade. Sorta like Abba's Greatest Hits. This episode supported and powered Sovren, the AI, parsing, and matching tech so human you'll want to take it to dinner.
