Culture fit is the glue that holds an organization together. That's why it's a key trait to look for when recruiting. It's important to understand, however, that hiring for culture fit doesn't mean hiring people who are all the same. The values and attributes that make up an organizational culture can and should be reflected in a richly diverse workforce. Here are some questions that will help assess someone's culture fit in an interview:
- What type of culture do you thrive in?
- What values are you drawn to and what's your ideal workplace?
- Why do you want to work here?
- How would you describe our culture based on what you've seen?
- What best practices would you bring with you from another organization?
- Tell me about a time when you worked with/for an organization where you felt you were not a strong culture fit. Why was it a bad fit?
