>> Hi. I'm Katie. I am the HR and the recruiter here at Tessemae's. You know, on the HR side, it's all the HR, the benefits, on-boarding new employees, and all that. You know, and the employer appreciation and all that kind of stuff and the recognition. And then from the recruiting standpoint, it's going out and recruiting people for our internal positions and then all of our sales positions. So I ask them to send me a video of themselves, asking why they want to be a part of Tessemae's. You know, what makes them stand out.

There's going to be all that kind of stuff, but it's great to be, you know, a part of that because it's what you like. You know, it's not like it's coming to work; it's coming to just be a part of, like, something [inaudible], friends, and all that.
