I have compiled a 200 page text based on my 37 years of experience as a recruiter and CEO in the Executive and Technical Search industry. I'm wondering if there are other persons here who also have a long background in Headhunting, and possibly mathematics, as well who would be interested in discussing the book, possibly refining it, etc. It's quite technical, but has human interest stories and is designed to be read by CEOs, candidates and HR -- anyone involved in the 'hiring loop' who wants to gain a technical mastery of the topic matter. Here is a recent article about the book, from LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/axiomatic-headhunting-why-your-next-hire-...

I think you will find that people don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it mathematics or is it recruitment. Is it use of mathematics in recruitment. Are you recruiting people who can count. Are you Alan Turing reborn - that type of thing.

@David Taylor Actually that’s the point Nicholas is making. Headhunting + mathematics = predictive modeling of candidate success. It’s not about “counting people”. It’s about using data to reduce hiring bias. Alan Turing worked on patterns too, so the comparison isn’t far off. Curious to hear more @Nicholas Meyler on which models you’re using.
It's called "The Axiomatic Headhunter" and it's essentially rules for recruiting and negotiating based on mathematical principles. I suggest a set of 11 axioms and develop 30 theorems based on them which then are proven rigorously and give examples of how they work.
I've got a headache.
Carol M. Salter the headaches from not following the rules of the book are a thousand times worse
