Chad Sowash, a former Army Infantry drill sergeant, cut his teeth in online recruitment in ’98 with an outfit called Online Career Center before it launched in ’99 as Monster.com. He went on to build DirectEmployers from the ground up, steer RecruitMilitary toward revenue as CXO and build RandStad’s first military veteran hiring program. Today, you can find him speaking at events, podcasting or just working his ass off as principal partner at Catch 22 Consulting.
