Organizations understandably want to hire individuals who are aligned with their mission, as research shows that achieving an optimal fit delivers benefits to both the company and employees. Studies<\/a> have found that when employees are passionate about their company\u2019s mission, they stay with the company longer and may be more engaged and perform better. Cultural fit, in particular, is important because without it, even the most technically competent employees can derail. It\u2019s a lesson that many managers have already learned. In a Robert Half survey<\/a>, nine out of 10 managers said a candidate’s fit with the organizational culture was just as important as or more important than their skills and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNCOVERS A CANDIDATE\u2019S TRUE PASSIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA cultural fit assessment helps uncover a candidate\u2019s excitement for the work of the company, its vision, and its values. By talking to a candidate about what they\u2019re really passionate about, you can see pretty quickly if their passions align with the company\u2019s mission. People tend to use more details, examples, and explanations when talking about the things that excite them. Some examples of questions<\/a> that can help you determine if a candidate\u2019s passions match the company\u2019s mission might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- What are your hobbies\/the things you like to do for fun?<\/li>
- What are you passionate about?<\/li>
- What was the best workday you\u2019ve ever had, and why?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
MAKES THE RECRUITING PROCESS MORE EFFICIENT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA cultural fit assessment, whether delivered in question format online or in person during the initial interview, can help you quickly identify individuals who are not a fit. As soon as it\u2019s clear those individuals are not aligned with your mission, it\u2019s possible to take them out of the running for the role instead of spending more time and resources ushering them through the selection process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, when a cultural fit assessment identifies a potentially strong fit, more time can be spent assessing and interviewing that individual, making for a more efficient interview process overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
