Evaluating Competency is Key to Hiring
Process, ex-Google Recruiter says
By Joey Pizzolato

Evaluating a candidate’s competency is key to the hiring process and a step that financial institutions must take to combat attrition, Ginny Clarke, the former Director of Executive Recruiting at Google, said during a keynote address at the 61st annual Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) Convention in Orlando, Fla., on Monday. 

Ginny Clarke defines competencies as “the deconstructed elements of how you do something. We get so caught up in: Where’d somebody go to school? Which degrees do they have? Which other companies did they work for? The pedigree myth. 

“I’m here to tell you that I’ve met some people with beautiful resumes you’d be impressed with, but they were completely incompetent,” she said. 

Evaluating competencies becomes even more important when it comes to filling leadership roles, Clarke said. 

At Google, Clarke developed a library of more than 60 leadership competencies and worked with hiring managers and recruiters when filling vacant positions to select three to five critical competencies for a specific role. 

Some include “thrives in ambiguity,” or “problem solving,” Clarke said. “Then we would create questions for the various interviewers to pose during the interview” about behaviors applicants should have exhibited. 

“I would urge you to ask questions that begin with, ‘Give me an example,’ or, ‘Can you explain how,’” Clarke said. “It’s the ‘How’ that’s important. We’re saying, ‘Have you done this before? ‘Yes or no?’ But they could have done [the task] poorly.”

Small Business Growth in Suburbia is
Almost Triple than Downtown
By Delaney Sexton, Coleman Reports Contributing Editor

Overall, Yelp data shows the average yearly business growth during the pandemic is accelerating faster in non-downtown neighborhoods compared to downtown areas, and business growth in 2022 is greater in non-downtown areas compared to the pre-pandemic average. Additionally, some business categories – such as food businesses and restaurants – are seeing more growth in non-downtown neighborhoods than other types of businesses.

These are the facts:

• Non-downtown business growth increased by 313% on average while downtown business growth increased by an average of 116%.

• Food businesses and restaurants are leading the business growth in non-downtown areas.

• When comparing the number of businesses in 2022 to the number of businesses pre-pandemic, Portland, Oregon’s non-downtown business growth outpaced downtown business growth by 157%.

• San Francisco’s non-downtown business growth was 88% more than the downtown areas.

• The non-downtown business growth in Austin outpaced downtown business growth by 74%.

• In Chicago, downtown business growth was 68% behind non-downtown business growth.

• New York, New York had business growth in non-downtown areas outpace the downtown areas by 60%.

“While it’s promising to see both downtowns and non-downtowns continue to grow, the rapid growth in non-downtowns across the country demonstrates the positive economic opportunity that remote work has brought businesses in residential city neighborhoods, versus those in office-centric downtowns.”

Subway Sets More Records with Latest Menu Launch
By Ben Coley, qrsmagazine.com

Thanks to the launch of 12 'Subway Series' signature sandwiches, the restaurant consistently beat its AUV per week marks from 2012.

Subway's lineup of new signature sandwiches is producing nearly double-digit sales increases and the highest AUV its seen in years, building off of record marks set last year.

In July, the chain revealed its "Subway Series," or 12 sandwiches with preset ingredients that can be ordered by name or number. The items come in four categories—Cheesesteaks, Italiano's, Chicken, and Clubs—with each housing three choices; i.e. the Cheesesteak segment includes No. 1, The Philly, No. 2, The Outlaw, and No. 3, The Monster.

During Subway Series' eight-week launch window, same-store sales grew 7.4 percent compared to last year's Eat Fresh Refresh, which was heralded as Subway's biggest menu update in company history. The top three quartiles of restaurants (roughly 15,000 locations), were up more than 12 percent year-over-year. In the third quarter, comps lifted 8.4 percent, and soared to almost 11 percent in September versus 2021. The top three quartiles saw same-store sales grow 13.8 percent in Q3 and roughly 18 percent in September.

The menu innovation is part of a bigger effort to reimagine Subway's branding. In terms of development, the franchisor is refocusing its domestic growth to multi-unit operators who own other restaurant chains as opposed single-store franchisees. The 100 percent franchised concept finished 2021 with 21,147 U.S. outlets, a net decrease of 3,650 units versus 2019—that number alone would be among the top 15 biggest fast-food chains in America. Subway is still the largest restaurant in America in terms of footprint, but McDonald's is now the global leader. Internationally, the brand has signed nine master franchisees with more than 5,300 restaurant commitments.

Special Halloween Edition, Part One

With Halloween just around the corner, we’ve put together a multi-part catalog of classic frightfests to go with your pumpkin treats. Check back next week for more indelible horror tales.

The Mummy (1932): Though not as frequently revived as the early classics about Dracula or Frankenstein, this tale of obsessive love across centuries matches them with its unforgettable mood of poetic dread. Boris Karloff stars as Imhotep, a priest in ancient Egypt who was mummified as punishment for attempting to resurrect his beloved princess. Many years pass, until an archeological expedition accidentally brings him back to life, sending him on his mission to track down his lost lover. He locates her in the form of Helen (Zita Johann), a diplomat’s young daughter who falls under the spell of the mysterious Imhotep. Can her British suitor Frank (David Manners) rescue her before it’s too late? Directed by noted cinematographer Karl Freund, this is a hypnotic account of fright and passion.

Peeping Tom (1960): Released in the same year as “Psycho,” this British drama is every bit as unsettling a study in obsession and voyeurism. Carl Boehm is unforgettable as Mark Lewis, a lonely young Londoner who works as a photographer at a seedy studio by day and kills women by night. The son of a scientist who used to experiment on him, he’s obsessed with capturing moments of terror, filming his victims’ final moments in a kind of private documentary about fear. When his friend Helen (Anna Massey) learns about his murderous work, his journey into madness accelerates. Originally dismissed by critics as lurid junk, the film has since been rediscovered as a masterpiece from the great director Michael Powell (“The Red Shoes”), a lacerating and darkly profound work.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974): Before the breakout box-office hit of “Carrie,” Brian De Palma directed this unique blend of horror, comedy and music, bringing his own wild twist to the “Phantom of the Opera” tale. Winslow Leach (William Finley) is a struggling songwriter whose music is stolen by nefarious record mogul Swan (Paul Williams). After being framed and having his face deformed, Leach develops a new persona as a masked avenger known as The Phantom, determined to rescue a young singer named Phoenix (Jessica Harper) before it’s too late. Brimming with macabre razzle-dazzle, satirical delirium, and a scene-stealing performance by Gerrit Graham as a dim-witted rock star, this is punchy, gloriously excessive entertainment that amply showcases De Palma’s gifts for the thin line between shock and laughter.

Creepshow (1982): Two horror masters, director George Romero (“Night of the Living Dead”) and writer Stephen King (“The Shining”), team up for this affectionately gruesome ode to the frightful comic-books of their youth. Using the same anthology structure as 1950s pulp-fiction like “Vault of Horror,” the film catalogs a series of macabre comeuppances served to a host of unlovely characters. There is a family reunion where relatives snip at each other until the late paterfamilias rises from the grave, and a rich psychopath (Leslie Nielsen) who takes revenge on his wife’s lover (Ted Danson). The beastly contents of an ancient crate are used by a henpecked professor (Hal Holbrook), while a grouchy magnate (E.G. Marshall) discovers a creepy-crawly problem. And so it goes to the end, bloodily and entertainingly.

Audition (1999): Japanese horror doesn’t come more harrowing than this remarkable cocktail of provocative ideas and nightmarish brutality, from prolific maverick Takashi Miike (“13 Assassins”). Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) is a widower who, tentatively stepping back into the dating scene, takes advice from a friend and sets up an audition call for a phony movie project. Interviewing prospective actresses, he learns about their secrets and desires. In steps Asami (Eihi Shiina), a lovely, shy young woman who immediately catches Aoyama’s eye. A romance blooms between them, but Asami gradually reveals a deeply disturbed side, and what begins as a sedate drama takes a sharp turn toward extreme terror. An uncompromising snapshot of the war of the sexes, Miike’s cult movie is diabolically indelible but not for the squeamish. With subtitles.

Lorillard declined to wear the result, but his son Griswold Lorillard and three of his friends did along with waistcoats of scarlet satin, and the look caught on. Some say this is more fiction than fact, but history records the Tuxedo Club and Lorillard responding on wearing it that it was a Tuxedo.

Out much of the night celebrating his victory in Game 6 and suffering from seizures, Alexander had no expectation of pitching without rest.  He was summoned when the starter, Jess Haines, developed a blister and left the game.  During the Lazzeri at-bat, on the pitch before the strikeout, “Poosh ‘em Up” hit a screaming liner that just went foul.  The Series concluded with Babe Ruth, inexplicably being thrown out trying to steal.

A few years later, he came across “Coyote's Journal,” a poetry magazine and recognized its logo as the same paw-prints he has seen during his drug-induced experience. It was this that caused him to change his name to Coyote, after meeting Rolling Thunder John Pope, a self-styled shaman, who felt that the experience was spiritually significant.

    2015 - The Mets were cruising along with a 2-1 lead in the 7th inning of Game 2 of the NLDS when the Dodgers’ Chase Utley barreled into SS Ruben Tejada to break up a potential inning-ending double play. He not only succeeded, but also broke Tejada's leg in the process while the Mets vainly argued for an interference call. Major League Baseball ultimately suspended Utley for his unnecessarily violent slide, but in the meantime, Los Angeles took advantage of the controversial play to score four runs in the inning and ended up a 5-2 winner, evening the series.  The aftermath of this play broke with long-standing baseball traditions that allowed practically anything in pursuit of breaking up a double play.  MLB changed the rule, restricting the runner to the baseline and not allowing sliding beyond the bag to do so.  It also changed the long-standing “in the neighborhood” unwritten rule that allowed the out at second if the fielder was close to the bag during the relay to first.
