The recruitment tech world is getting squeezed, automated, and slightly unhinged and this episode of the Chad & Cheese Podcast breaks it all down.
From Indeed tightening its grip on job feeds, to IBM’s AI hiring controversy, to OpenAI stepping into job search, and Meta experimenting with surveillance + workforce training programs — this is the future of work colliding with reality in real time.
In this episode:
Indeed is allegedly pushing recruitment marketing agencies out of the job distribution chain, raising serious questions about who controls hiring pipelines and job traffic. Then Chad, Lieven and Mo dig into IBM’s AI hiring system reportedly auto-rejecting a long-time 24-year veteran employee during layoffs — fueling the debate around bias, automation, and the AI hiring hype cycle.
We also explore OpenAI’s new job search capabilities in ChatGPT, built in collaboration with Indeed, Upwork, and Appcast, signaling a major shift in how candidates may discover opportunities in the near future.
And finally, Meta takes center stage with employee monitoring backlash (keystrokes, mouse tracking, AI training data) alongside its new “America’s Workforce Academy” initiative promising fast-track training and guaranteed job placement — because of course it does.
