Recruiters Must Reflect Company Culture

Jason Pankow is a Company Man.

Independent-minded Jason Pankow believes that recruiters must make themselves walking talking advertisements for their company culture.

According to Panky, a recruiter has to live the culture to convey it to others. And it has to define her in more than merely the technical aspects of her job.

For instance, in her clothing: "I wear laid back clothes". (Blue jeans and a t-shirt that says La Buena Vida).

In her office decor: My office is more than business paraphernalia. I've got bobbleheads, Seattle Mariners gear, and we make games so I've got posters of games (made by my company and others) and an Xbox and TV.

And in her feelings and her chit chat conversations:
"You played Ultimate Frisbee in college? Me, too!"
"Did I tell you about the company league that plays weekly on campus?
My team got creamed."

I wonder how many times he's had that Frisbee conversation? And this from a guy who brags that he isn't a salesman. Okay, he's a company man. But, tell me, which is worse?
