How to hire for culture when ‘culture fit’ can be dangerous and exclusive

InHerSight’s Beth Castle explains what to do when “Culture is nebulous, ‘culture fit’ is restrictive and can forge a dangerous path toward groupthink and exclusion, and often, even behavioral interview questions fail to address that certain, for lack of a more precise word, ‘vibe’ of a good hire.”

I recently attended a panel on the importance of prioritizing culture as businesses scale. The premise, which I wholeheartedly agree with, was that positive company culture can become a huge driver of your business strategy. Companies run more smoothly when everyone embodies the same values, from how they interact with customers to how they empathize or even goof around with one another.
