Chad n Cheez Podcast
Well it’s no secret, Joel and I have been trying to sync schedules, for about a month, to launch a new podcast show.
What to expect from the Chad and Cheezhead Show?
Well I wouldn’t set your expectations too high, but imagine a couple of guys on bar stools with their favorite lager talking about the online recruitment industry. That’s how I would describe the Chad ‘N Cheezhead Show, and any ERE event you’ve probably attended. We’ll purposely touch on subjects that are controversial and more than likely disagree on certain topics, although don’t expect any RecruitingAnimal WWE rage performances.
On this very first installment our idea was to pick 10 topics and talk, debate, or just laugh about it for 2 minutes, in theory giving us a 20 minute show. Well the end result was an hour, yea no kidding an hour!
After listening check out my version, slightly funnier than Joel’s, of the Chad and Cheezhead Show page, and without further adieu here’s the very first installment… We hope you enjoy!
In this episode:
1. Super Bowl stuff (0:58) - It’s a tad dated although Joel asks if the typical “Colt-fan” was happy Eli got the W? Also SB commercials winners, losers, and favorites.
2. The economy (7:36) - How will the turbulence affect our industry?
3. Acquisitions (12:30) - Who is being gobbled up and why?
4. Startups (19:12) - Our thoughts on Notchup & Standoutjobs.
5. Vertical search engines and permalinks (31:11) - I have to drag Joel away from the ledge on this one. Dude, relax already..
6. Video’s growing influence (42:57) - How will the online recruiting industry leverage video? Monetize? or will we try to stuff it in a traditional box like we always do?
7. High tech vs. high touch recruiting (52:00) - Can the recruiting industry be high tech and high touch?
8. Off to Fort Benning (57:38) - Where? Why? Huh?
9. Closing remarks - (59:17)
Guys - great show. Congrats on launching the podcast and I look forward to more. I’m still listening to it, but wanted to comment right after hearing your thoughts on Standout Jobs. I won’t comment on all of them, but I do appreciate them.
Although that *cough* Jobster *cough* part hurt … really. *smile*
You guys make many valid points, and I hope we can get into them in more detail and reveal more of us, our product and team in the future.
Thanks again!
“high/low tech and high/low touch” is a Richard Forida Concept embraced in 2000 by Many communities after the “flight of the creative class” book hit its High Water Mark—i.e. Indiana-Intern-net.
old ideas bring new innovation. Innovation attached to accomplishments, delivery and execution IS business and economic Development.
Great show. Pleas make it so the “rest of us” can understand it so that it does not seem like 2 guys sitting around talking internet employment shop. I felt like a third wheel on a date.
Thanks for listening Ben and I apologize Brimmie for paying more attention to my beer than you ;o) I understand the jargon we use is easily understood ONLY if you live in our online recruiting world and not all listeners do. I’ll try to use more lay-terms and provide descriptions rather than acronyms for starters.
