Indeed Layoffs, ZipRecruiter Cat Turds & Eightfold Smoke and Mirrors
This week, the boys discuss various topics including Indeed's layoffs, the ban on lab-grown meat in Alabama, Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech, and the financial struggles of ZipRecruiter. They also dig into the introduction of Eightfold Talent Tracking, and the partnership between Stack Overflow and Indeed. They express their disappointment with ZipRecruiter's performance and call for better leadership. They criticize Eightfold for expanding too quickly and losing focus, and they mock the buzzword-filled description of their new product. They also question the strategy behind Twitter's, er, X's job recommendations and express their frustration with the lack of innovation. Finally, they discuss the controversy surrounding the Portal Project between New York and Dublin and how an OnlyFans model reminds us how much we all love boobies ... or is it potatoes?

Joel and Chad are great. You will learn and laugh.
New working title: Socialism and Cheese
I give this podcast three out of five stars. That’s five stars for Joel. One star for Chad.
And I only give Chad one star because every once in a while - and I gotta say these moments are very few and super far in between - he will do a market analysis that’s really good and insightful.
However, 99% of the time Mr Sowash is spewing the mad ravings of a person who’s never actually run a business. He’s the smartest person in the industry - just ask him. In fact, this podcast made me realize the most urgently needed artificial intelligence app is one that causes this podcast to go silent anytime Chad opens his mouth. I would prefer that sweet sound of dead air to his unrelenting socialist insanity.
That said, Joe Cheeseman knows what he’s talking about. He is a voice of reason and measured analysis of the complex TA industry. He understands branding and strategy and how to actually make money in TA tech. He walks the tightrope of appeasing his lunatic co-host while bringing actual value to the commentary. In other words, the man is a magician.
Overall, about 50% of this podcast is worth a listen.
