The Chad & Cheese Holiday Clip Show (aka: HR’s Greatest Hits of 2025)

We cracked open the vault and stitched together the smartest, loudest, and most brutally honest moments from this year’s conversations — because nothing says “holiday cheer” like calling BS on broken hiring.

This episode delivers a full snack tray of takes from leaders who actually run hiring at scale:

🍿 Fake applicants, AI fraud, and résumé chaos
🍿 Why job boards are quietly losing leverage
🍿 How companies are cutting spend and improving quality
🍿 The real role of AI
🍿 Why owning your candidate data actually matters
🍿 Human vs chatbot: where the line really is
🍿 What happens when recruiters stop playing defense

From Marriott to Domino’s, SmartRecruiters to healthcare, retail, and enterprise — this is the unfiltered stuff people only say when the mics are hot.

Consider this your year-end mixtape of truth bombs, hot takes, and “wait… they actually said that?” moments.
