A Unique Take on Corporate Culture

In a surprising twist this April Fool's Day, Request Agent Co., Ltd. has announced the appointment of a sakura finch, affectionately known as Pteranodon (or Poo-chan), as its official 'Sales Bird.' This initiative is not just a whimsical gesture but is part of a broader strategy to reshape hiring practices and strengthen the internal culture of the company.

The Vision Behind the Initiative

The 2026 appointment aims to address the increasingly diverse demands of recruitment and organizational growth by tapping into the significance of 'healing' and 'existence value'—elements that are often overlooked in conventional hiring methods. In the competitive landscape of talent acquisition, the emphasis is shifting from mere information dissemination to creating memorable experiences that resonate with potential candidates.

Poo-chan will serve various roles that include providing comfort to visitors and enhancing communication internally. He is expected to make appearances in social media campaigns and recruitment materials, as well as participate in meetings. This unique role allows him to exist beyond traditional corporate constraints, showcasing a flexible and enjoyable working style that symbolizes 'work-life balance' within the company.

The Qualities of Poo-chan

Meet Pteranodon:

• - Role: Sales Bird
• - Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture
• - Gender: Male (assumed)
• - Age: 6 months
• - Primary Responsibilities: Guest interaction, fostering internal communication, and marketing appearances.
• - Special Skills: Chirping and enthusiastic water bathing

Moreover, Request Agent has another resident bird, a white finch named Pigeon (female, 8 years old), who may also join in public relations activities in the future.

A New Approach to Corporate Branding

Request Agent has a longstanding commitment to addressing hiring challenges as a recruitment advertising agency. This novel approach focuses on 'building a company that is sought after' and exemplifies our philosophy that corporate allure cannot be merely articulated in words; it should also be experienced.
