In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, Chad and Joel take aim at an HR tech landscape frantically trying to AI its way into the future.
First, the boys dissect Signal Labs’ acquisition of 25-year-old ATS Brass Ring—brilliant enterprise play or an expensive dump of dusty candidate data?
Then, Adzuna buys German job site Joblift, and startup Refer raises $7.5M on a controversial model that charges job seekers 20% of their first paycheck while employers pay nothing.
Over with the mega platforms, Indeed updates its Terms of Service to unleash autonomous AI application bots while dodging decision-making liability, and Texas launches a probe into LinkedIn over "ghost jobs"—consumer protection or political theater?
Finally, 4,500 Googlers demand AI layoff prenups as tech giants spend billions on stock buybacks. Throw in military low-T testing debate and World Cup final drama, and you’ve got unfiltered HR news with zero corporate filter. Hit play!
