What is Culture Fit?

The degree to which a candidate's values, work style, and behaviors align with an organization's culture, a common but increasingly debated hiring criterion.

Why it matters in hiring

Culture 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.
