Recruiter's Perspective

What do you like to do in your free time? Spend time with my family. Weekend road trips! In a sentence, why do you enjoy working at your company? The culture is awesome, and the location is not what you think when you think of Iowa. In a sentence, how does your company have fun on a regular basis? There is so much going on at any given time, it would be hard not to have fun here. In a sentence, how would you describe the employees at your company? University of Iowa employees are professional and are the backbone of why the UI is a great place to work.
