Webcast:
Unfortunately, it's a common dilemma; hiring the candidate that has the right experience, qualifications, and work history, only to find three months later that their style, approach or behavior are inconsistent with the values of your organization. While skills and experience are critical, research increasingly points to organizational fit as a key differentiator in who will contribute faster, perform better and stay longer. So how do you balance the importance job fit and culture fit in your selection process?
In this webcast we will explore the significance of culture fit, how to identify the right match, and the new techniques and tools available for assessing candidates. We'll also share how other organizations have effectively aligned measurement for culture fit, skills and experience to ensure the candidate hired is the best for the job and company.
