Salty Truth Friday: “Culture Fit” Is Not a Hiring Strategy.
When interviewers say:
“I just didn’t feel it.”
That’s not data.
That’s ambiguity.
Culture fit, when undefined, becomes:
Bias
Inconsistency
Legal risk
Poor diversity outcomes
If culture matters (and it should), define it.
What behaviors?
What decision-making style?
What collaboration expectations?
Vibes don’t scale.
Structured evaluation does.
