Podcast: Mark Kendall Moore — What Protecting World Leaders Teaches You About Hiring

In this episode of "Hire Learning with Oz Rashid," we sit down with Mark Kendall Moore, Chief Security Officer of Dayton Children's Hospital, for one of the most unconventional career stories this show has featured. Before leading security across 32 locations in a pediatric hospital system, Mark spent nearly 11 years in the United States Marine Corps, including leading top-secret missions in support of Presidents Reagan and Bush as part of the Marine One security detachment. What followed was a career that defied easy categorization: executive protection for Henry Kissinger across 220 travel days a year, family security manager for Bill and Melinda Gates, and an NBC Security role that put him inside Centennial Olympic Park the night of the 1996 Atlanta bombing. Mark is also co-founder of the Selie Foundation, a humanitarian organization doing active work in Haiti, the same country where he developed one of the most distinctive pre-screening interview methods we've heard on this show. We explore what a lifetime of high-stakes security work forges in a hiring manager, why Mark developed a 20-statement pre-screen to filter out bad-fit candidates before asking a single question, and how AI is beginning to change the future of physical security — from behavioral analytics to predictive threat detection before an incident occurs.

Podcast: Brett Fitelson — Corporate Recruiting Is Passion, Not Commission: The Five Ps and What Candidate Experience Actually Costs

Oz Rashid sits down with Brett Fitelson, Technical Talent Acquisition Manager of Seminole Hard Rock Support Services, to explore what separates transactional recruiting from recruiting that genuinely changes lives. Brett came into staffing the way most great recruiters do: sideways. A yellow sticky note, a cold call to Robert Half, and a lot of persistence later, he discovered he was built for this work. Five years inside Seminole, Brett has personally hired over 600 people across 18 departments, 13 states, and four countries. We explore the real difference between agency staffing and corporate recruiting, how Brett’s candidate experience approach turned two SVP finalists into lifelong advocates, and why the Five Ps (proper preparation prevents poor performance) show up in every conversation he runs.
