This one’s a real rush of blood to the head!

• Recruitics and Phenom are continuing the acquisition boom in our industry
• LinkedIn is looking to take on Fiverr and Upwork.

And that’s just the Chad & Cheese appetizer, as the boys then dig into billion-dollar companies that poo-poo HR departments, professors who do hardcore drugs to achieve work-life balance, and even a good ol’ fashioned dust-up with industry vet Bill Boorman.

It’s a good time after a week that came with a hefty dose of salt and vinegar. As always, C&C are powered by Jobvite, Sovren, and JobAdx.
