Werkadoo Rocks SXSW

We went to SXSW on a mission to spread the werd, but never expected people loved panda bears so…

On Friday, March 12th, the Werkadoo panda bear, donned by Mr. Teddy Boxberger himself, descended on Austin for the SXSW interactive conference. We just thought, “Hey, our shirts are black, they would look great on a panda, people love to hug pandas, let’s do it!”

What resulted was a ton of folks in pictures with our panda, SXSW officials asking us to leave for getting so much awesome attention, news 8 Austin giving us an interview, and the panda making the front page of the business section of the Houston Chronicle! Not bad for a startup with a budget trying to make a splash at one of the biggest tech conferences on the planet. We’re just happy that people are starting to hear the werd about Werkadoo, and catching on to our philosophy of being ‘The eHarmony of Business’.

We think behind every great resume is a great professional, and the best way to connect businesses with workers is to do it on a human level, and make sure they’re a great fit for each other before the hiring begins. Anyway, we digress, but take a look at our facebook page for more updates and pictures from SXSW!

Until next time…
