What is Cultural Fit?

The alignment between a candidate's personal values, work style, and behaviors with an organization's culture, norms, and working environment.

Why it matters in hiring

Cultural Fit comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
