How to Hire
I feel like articles like this don’t actually say much. “Don’t hire for culture fit” doesn’t mean anything. The author basically says “don’t just hire people you’d want to have a beer with” and then goes on to say that they do hire for cultural fit by looking at their ability to solve problems and overcome challenges...which is culture fit. If your culture is “we hire people not who we like to drink beer with but those who solve problems” well then that’s culture fit isn’t it?<p>Obviously every company is going to hire for cultural fit. Every company has values that they build around to create successful teams. I would never hire anyone that I didn’t think fit in with our team...why would I do that?Some companies value different things than others. So don’t go around saying “we don’t do culture fit”, yes you do, you just define culture fit differently than other businesses because that’s your “culture”.
