Hiring for Culture "Add" Instead of Culture "Fit"
Have you ever heard a teammate say, or even said yourself, “this candidate is a bad culture fit”? In some cases, the candidate might not share the values and standards of your team. However, this statement can also be used to discriminate against candidates who don’t look like, think like, or act like the rest of the team.
According to a recent article from The Enterprisers Project, “Culture fit preserves comfort and familiarity, while culture ‘add’ looks for people who value an organization’s standards and culture, but also bring something different that positively contributes to your company. The hiring question then shifts from “What is this person lacking?” to “What can this person bring to the table?” Culture fit mindset seeks to hire and retain more of what is already working. Culture ‘add’ focuses on gaining valuable elements that your culture lacks.”
