How important is finding the right cultural fit in your hiring process? According to an article by Rhiân Davies for TestGorilla, it's crucial, but with a caveat. While aligning candidates with your company's culture and values seems beneficial, putting too much emphasis on cultural fit can lead to unintended negative consequences, such as a homogenous workforce and low employee retention. The article suggests shifting focus from hiring for culture fit to hiring for culture add, allowing for a diverse and innovative work environment. This approach ensures new hires not only fit in but also contribute positively and significantly to the team’s dynamics and the company’s growth. What are your thoughts on balancing cultural fit and diversity in hiring? Have you experienced the shift towards culture add in your organisation? #DEI #CultureFit #TalentAcquisition
