In this hilarious installment of The Chad & Cheese Podcast Does Europe, Lieven joins the boys as they embark on a wild ride through Europe, sharing tales of cultural faux pas and giving shout-outs that’ll make you spit out your coffee. Buckle up as they dive into Belgium’s bold new laws for sex workers – because who knew bureaucracy could be so sexy?

But wait, there’s more! They tackle the elephant in the room, or should we say, the AI in the workplace? ChatGPT’s on the scene, and it’s not just for writing your grandma’s birthday cards anymore. It’s revolutionizing recruitment, turning headhunters into tech-hunters.

Then, it’s a somber stroll through Germany’s economic woes – because nothing says “comedy gold” like discussing inflation in the land of beer and pretzels. Nicht gut!

Prediction time! Lieven dons his prophetic hat to predict the staffing industry’s future in 2025 from a European POV, where AI is the new HR MVP. Then they navigate the GDPR minefield on LinkedIn, where American tech giants are learning that in Europe, privacy is not just a suggestion … especially in Ireland.

The episode rounds off with a look at the new kids on the recruitment block – startups that might either be the next big thing or just another flash in the pan, including CoachHub, Popp AI and Talentium. All this, served with a side of their signature snark and belly laughs
