Talent Acquisition and HR need to blow-up their processes! đŁ
Our guests always leave us with pearls of wisdom and provide us with a unique view of the recruitment industry! This weekâs guest, Chad Sowash, takes us a supersonic verbal rollercoaster through, what we have called, the âNew Year’s Bitchfest!â (Wear a headset!)
Army Veteran and Recruitment industry voice, Chad has been partnering and pivoting with FTSE500 companies since the âdawn of Monsterâ (circa 1999). We discussed weekly his thoughts and views on the talent acquisition industry on his primary platform, the Chad & Cheese Podcast which has parental advisory guidance and a warning that it is
âHRâs Most Dangerous Podcast.â
In this fast and furious show, we learn about Chadâs own career in the US Forces and how this led to him delivering successful Veterans recruitment programmes for companies such as the Ford Motor Company. He tells us how âFord listened and caredâ and this resulted in them
âBlowing-up there Veteran hiring by 20%â.
On the cusp of global domination, with a number of events and a mini-tour planned for 2019, we also learn how Chad challenges the activities and advocates of employer branding. Chad tells us âI have a huge issue employer brand – they have to show how they are tied to the business and how they are impacting salesâ.
Technology progression versus legacy TA & HR processes.
Chadâs current focus is now firmly on HR and Recruitment tech and he passionately tells us âwhat we need to do as a Talent Acquisition / HR is we need to blow up our processes – Â the processes currently being used are from the late 1990s and early 2000sâ and the net result is
âWe have new technologies that weâre trying to shove old processes into.â
