THe New Job Board Doctor
Julie Sowash is a trailblazer in workforce innovation, accessible hiring, and job board strategy. As the Co-Founder & CEO of Catch22 Group and the driving force behind JobBoardDoctor.com, she brings over 15 years of experience in systems design, regulatory compliance, and equitable hiring infrastructure.
Julie’s career is marked by her commitment to reshaping the talent acquisition landscape. She has led national hiring initiatives, advised Fortune 100 companies, and consistently challenged industry norms with a blend of data-driven insights and tenacity. Her work focuses on how technology and policy intersect to either open doors or quietly shut them for underrepresented jobseekers, particularly individuals with disabilities.
In 2025, Julie took the helm of JobBoardDoctor.com, providing niche job board owners with the insights and tools needed to thrive in a market increasingly dominated by large aggregators. Under her leadership, the platform has become a critical resource for tactical guidance and industry advocacy.
Whether she’s architecting digital platforms that prioritize equity, launching and guiding job boards that punch above their weight, or calling out the industry’s sacred cows with a wry smile, Julie’s work lives at the intersection of inclusion, innovation, and no-BS business strategy.
Beyond her executive roles, Julie is the host of the Changing Minds Changing Lives podcast and an international keynote speaker, sharing her expertise on diversity, inclusion, and the future of work. She balances her professional endeavors with a global lifestyle, splitting her time between the U.S. and Portugal, and occasionally smashing padel balls like they owe her money.

An ode to the Original Job Board Doctor
The OG Job Board Doctor is Jeff Dickey-Chasins, a job board consultant and veteran of the job board, publishing, and e-learning industries. The consulting services he provides will help your job board increase sales, profitability, and customers.
Jeff was the original marketing director for Dice.com, growing it from $7 million to $65+ million in three years. He has worked with over 750 job boards and HR-related sites over the past 20 years, in almost every sector, including finance, technology, education, health care, sales and marketing, energy, and specific geographic regions. He has published research, e-books, and blog posts on almost every aspect of the industry. He also speaks at industry conferences on key topics in the online recruiting industry.
In July of 2024, Jeff decided to hang up his coat and enjoy retirement. He made the decision to pass the mantle to a team of new job board doctors.
