Be honest, collaborative, innovative, driven, insightful, funny, and friendly.

I'm the HR Consultant & Recruiter at Wetpaint.

Professional development is the key to Wetpaint - tell us your goals and we'll help you reach them, whether that means creating opportunities here or grabbing them elsewhere.

We have an open floor office plan which means that everyone is out on the floor, including management & executives. Our Sr. Director of Biz Dev plays D.J. most days, and we all groove to and groan at the playlists. Lots of natural light and green walls make it fell less like an office and more like a home....

Ask stupid questions, make suggestions, and wash your dishes!

We do a phone screen, a technical screen, a round of in-person interviews with the hiring manager and team, and then a round of interviews with people outside of the work group (including our CEO). It takes about a week, sometimes longer depending on schedules, but we want our candidates to know everything about us!...

Caffe' Umbria, Grand Central, Elliott Bay Books, Zeitgeist, and the I.D.

In the new location, all of the above, and Salumi.

My calendar, my CEO, my picture of sushi kitten, my hand sanitizer, and a can of Fresca.
