Define 'right fit.' (Asking the question in earnest, not to be snarky.)

  Usually the candidates being seen don't measure up or match the intended position. As an example, "we want to hire a devops person"; okay, you start getting people who do a lot of on premise stuff with Ansible/Chef/Puppet, and have to be told explicitly what to do. What you really wanted was someone familiar with AWS, setting up cloudformations, autoscaling, VPC configuration, etc, and who could be given an app, said "here's how it runs", and then figure out what needs to be done on their own.

  Right fit usually means one of two things: 1. culmination of all non-technical skills in aggregate Example: general disposition, humility, collaboration, confidence, hygiene, professionalism, and so forth. Collaboration being the highest weighted one. 2. JD is poorly written and is too broad, and the technical skills the candidates have don't match what we're looking for.
