With people you both face constantly: competitors, coworkers and first and foremost … potential customers. Dig into RoyalFlop's refreshing concept of Office Tourneys. Appoint your most powerful team right at the poker tables. Remember closely, everyone's in your subliminal sales force!

Let's say you need one or more positions filled for your department, like reinforcement of your customer service, engineering or marketing team. Perhaps you rather subcontract consultants or substitute project staff.

Instead of going through your usual hiring hassle for each applicant, you simply arrange one event and gather all interested parties together. Host this happening at the office, providing sufficient room for poker tables to seat each participant. That's right, you'll discover your best recruits while playing the most empathetic game of the world.

Grant all players starting chips, symbolizing company money, like their budget, salary or venture capital and observe how they use their assets to deal with yours.
