Chad Sowash

Co-Founder & Co-Host, The Chad and Cheese Podcast
    Speaker

Chad Sowash, a former Army Infantry drill sergeant, cut his teeth in online recruitment in ’98 with an outfit called Online Career Center before it launched in ’99 as Monster.com. He went on to build DirectEmployers from the ground up, steer RecruitMilitary toward revenue as CXO and build Randstad’s first military veteran hiring program. Today, you can find him behind the mic at events, and/or working his ass off challenging the norm on HR’s Most Dangerous Podcast.
