Hot Light is On – Hiring
– This stock. NYSE: QSR includes Burger King – insider info – weekly dock to beef shipments climbing; lunch dining full – for fast food, a good burger.
– First to know. 8 pm tonight, Cox Enterprises will finally shed Cox Communications – a $22b broadband cable around the neck of an on-air TV and radio Co.
– Waffle House fired shift supervisor over recording rap song, Waffy House, on premises. It hit 1m views. Family-friendly. Bad move by a good company. C-suites not catching on. Product Inferno will change C-suite and company communications.
– Why I only now do reference-based hiring. No more resumes and recruiters, but it includes a lot more hiring avenues than employees. See below the 3 Strategies.

Millennial Matt is back from the hedge funds, now leading Oxford Reserve magazine and advising on the design of Inferno, the new AI/Social Media/Response communication platform.
Rehires definitely fall under reference-based hiring only.
Matt was editor of our Oxford Center daily morning report in 2016 -2018 when we had a blow-up over the rules of the Oxford comma, and I had no choice but to stand with Dr. Martha A. Saunders, the renowned remedial English professor on planet Earth. Never put a comma before which. Period.
AI HR strategy is usually wrapped around reducing headcount – let it search for previous employees to rehire.
Reference-based hiring also includes company interactions like our current employee Mark, located in the Philippines, who called to sell us outsourcing to the Philippines. Instead, we hired him from firsthand experience – the ultimate reference-based hiring.
Teams and talent still win this thing.
HR Strategy: collect job candidates
– 500 employees = 500 recruiters
– All previous employees
– All company interactions.
Vital: if reference-based hiring is from a customer, vendor, etc, ask for permission from their current employer.
And ABI – Always Be Interviewing.
Even at Burger King.
