Company culture is a great way to build an environment of success that continues to attract great employees and leaders. Hiring people who mesh well with that culture helps you bring in people with the same mindset who can continue to build that culture from the inside.
It can be tricky to hire for culture. You have to ask yourself some questions:
- Do you have a well-defined culture in your workplace?
- How can you determine if a candidate fits into your culture in two or three meetings?
- How much of your desired culture are you willing to sacrifice if you are in desperate need of personnel?
