My Summary
Chad Sowash is Vice President of Business Development with DirectEmployers Association & JobCentral. Chad is a leading authority in the online recruiting and marketing space, a result of working his way up through the online industry ranks since 1998 with Online Career Center, Monster.com and now with DirectEmployers Association.

Chad's team is responsible for many aspects of the Association which include leading National Labor Exchange efforts and developments, distributing jobs to veterans through VetCentral, fostering alliances, marketing, partnerships and uncovering innovative technologies and business opportunities. Chad’s experience developed quickly from working side by side with online recruiting industries top talent to include online recruiting founding father Bill Warren. Moreover Chad interfaces daily with talent acquisition leaders from Fortune 500 keeping him in tune with the ever changing talent market, and innovation.

Chad's leadership skills stem from his nearly 20 years of experience in the U.S. Army and U.S Army Reserve where he attended many leadership schools, worked as an Infantry Drill Sergeant and is a combat veteran. Recently Chad’s unit was activated in March of 2008 to once again serve the same soldierization (Basic Training) mission it had performed in 2004-2006 at Fort Benning, GA. He was able to complete Level 3 of the Army’s Combatives Program, attended the Asymmetric Warfare Group’s marksmanship course, was recognized by Major General Kirkland on the M9 pistol range for flawless execution and by Major General Barbero, Fort Benning Post Commander, for NBC, CNN, NPR and other media attention stemming from his work with VetCentral. Moreover Chad was tasked by MG Barbero to work directly with the Wounded Warriors Transition Battalion Command Group in their efforts to help wounded soldiers find jobs.

Chad has received numerous awards, over his almost 20 years of service, but is especially proud of recently receiving the Order of Saint Maurice from the National Infantry Association for conspicuous contribution to the United States Infantry.

Chad has out processed the active Army, in February 2009, once again then will finish out his twenty years of reserve career ending in June 2009.


When Chad is not working as a Drill Sergeant, for Uncle Sam, he's an avid industry blogger, leader, speaker and educator.

Hi Chad!

 

So good to hear from you!  Doing well...still in Atlanta!  Actually in the process of looking for a new opportunity (either ATS or VMS system related).  I'm fortunate to be interviewing for a few positions, but please keep me in mind if you come across a company looking for help w/their ATS or VMS!  Here's a link to my LinkedIn profile:

Best,

Suzanne
