Because it's so easy to fake "cultural fit" during the relatively short hiring process.

- wolfgke 11y agoI don't think so. For the reason why I disagree: Lots of cultural values take a lot of time to internalize, but are easy to check/hard to fake. For example if one property of "cultural fit" is "loves the UNIX way of thinking and writing programs" it is easy to check with few questions if he/she has internalized it or is faking it. Or if "cultural fit" implies "loves doing hackathons" the prospective employee will have taken lots of time at hackathons in the past. If there is nothing to be found in the internet of the hackathons that he/she was on (say, either from the Hackathon's website, pictures in social network, source code on Github/Bitbucket etc.), he/she is probably faking. etc.
