> There are not two companies, the recruiting-company and the working-company.

Oftentimes there are two departments sufficiently distant from each other that there are effectively two companies. The HR portion is distant from actual employees and cares very little for culture.

That's true, but.. those companies trend towards HR throwing unqualified candidates towards the interviewers, which effects culture by forcing "gotta prove you aren't an idiot or faker!" style interviewing, and hence the people you hire tend to be the the people willing to jump through those silly hoops. The best people I know are not.
