"whom" is always preceded by "to", "with", "at" or similar.

Only when it's the object of a preposition. Not when it's a different use of the objective case, such as the direct objects in, "Whom do you love?" and, "The man whom I had hired called in sick."

    Really? I was taught "who" is used for direct objects, and "whom" is used for indirect objects. But a search shows you're right; that's wrong.
