Most of team leaders and recruiters will not argue that fit with the company culture is one of the most important factors during the process of hiring a new team member.<\/p>\n
However, this is a very vague concept, and sometimes it is difficult even within one company to determine the criteria according to which a new employee will easily integrate into the company’s culture.<\/p>\n
So what does company culture include?<\/p>\n
\u2013 values;<\/p>\n
– vision of development;<\/p>\n
\u2013 specific business processes;<\/p>\n
– language and style of internal communication;<\/p>\n
\u2013 belief systems regarding the most important work and social aspects;<\/p>\n
– habits;<\/p>\n
– acceptable or dominant behavior within the team.<\/p>\n
How to determine during the interview whether the candidate matches the team according to the criteria of the company’s culture?<\/p>\n
1. Explore the company culture. Before evaluating candidates, it is important to know exactly the criteria of culture. For this, you can use the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) framework.<\/p>\n
2. Determine the needs of the candidate. For example, using The International Personality Item Pool (IPIP-NEO) test. But compare them with the main criteria of your company’s corporate culture.<\/p>\n
3. Add questions about cultural compatibility to the interview. Example:<\/p>\n
– what do you like about the team you are currently working with?<\/p>\n
– what is the most pleasant thing for you in your work?<\/p>\n
– what was the biggest mistake in your work and what did you learn from it?<\/p>\n
and other issues<\/p>\n
4. Give the candidate a chance to feel for himself whether the company’s culture suits him. Take a tour of the office, give the opportunity to observe the work of the team and ask future colleagues a few questions.<\/p>\n
5. Do not be biased in the evaluation process. We have already talked about the blurring of the concept of culture, so it is important to adhere to the framework when evaluating.<\/p>\n
Do not rely only on the assessment of cultural criteria. It is equally important to assess professional skills, knowledge, productivity and effectiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
