It’s a given you need to be a rock star to join Integrity. Whether a project manager, developer, content strategist or user experience designer, you have to bring the goods to even be considered. Also, a strong level of curiosity and keen sense of observation really go a long way to becoming a star in our world.

But what will truly set you apart to us?

Maybe not too scientific, but we always look for the H’s:

Hunger – Don’t even consider joining our team if you don’t bring the hunger. We expect nothing short of greatness on every project we manage, every social media campaign we execute and every design we create. We can teach you a lot, but we can’t instill within you the desire to exceed every expectation.

Honesty – Trust is the lifeblood of every organization. We expect an honest effort, honest communications and honest interactions. Nothing less.

Humility – Although being a rock star often creates a ton of confidence, it’s critical that confidence doesn’t become arrogance. When you stop being humble, you stop learning. When you stop learning in our business, you stop adding value.

And perhaps the most important H of them all:

Happiness – Nothing matters if you’re not having fun – at life or at work. Happy people tend to be the most productive and most enjoyable people to work with – and this means everything in a creative, collaborative environment like Integrity.

So bring your degree, compile your experiences and trust your passions – but don’t forget your H’s if you plan on working with Integrity.

The teams have been chosen. The table has been oiled. The matching wristbands have been coordinated. The official Integrity foosball tournament is ON!

Friday, December 11 will usher in the first annual company foosball tournament. In preparation for this monumental undertaking, teams have been strengthening their flicking wrists, practicing their high-fives and trash-talking like Perez Hilton after three martinis.

“In honor of this time of holiday spirit and giving,” says Ed Morrissey of team Something Awesome, “We’re going to give John and Beth something to cry about.” His partner in crime, Catherine Betz, joins Ed in this festive proclamation of kicking ass.

Tensions are running high as more and more “important meetings about that website stuff… and things…” are being called-followed by the clicking and smacking of balls in the basement. And the occasional sob of defeat.

“We need our own theme song, we need our theme song!” cried Berrek Thompson, the other half of team Army of Darkness, along with Natalie Kurz, who was heard declaring, “That can of whoop-ass doesn’t come with a return policy, bubba.”

The office rivalries forming are epic—like Jacob and Edward, Harry and Voldemort, Jennifer and Angelina, Laverne and Shirley…oh, wait.

The winning tactics for team Tsunami, comprised of Reshma Chamberlin and Jake “the Viper” Wood, is for Reshma to squeal with delight at every goal in an attempt to unnerve the opposition.

Beth Buchanan, the other half of John Simanowitz’s team Master of Kung Foos, has been overheard shouting, “I’m gonna take down Facebook! Take it DOWN! Wait, what is this for again?” But it was shouted so ferociously, she has everyone shaking in their Uggs.

Robin Rath and Deanna Simanowitz, of team Master Paddlers, have taken the high road and refrained from partaking in the juvenile shenanigans of ribbing their opponents. Unless they are engaging in some form of silent mind control tactics. Freaky!
