My opinion, hinted at in another post in this discussion, is that this optimization is a fool's errand, particularly for a larger team. If the decision is between a New York startup hiring a technically-competent Midwesterner or waiting six months to find that optimal East Coast fit, it makes no sense to choose the latter.
- endswapper 10y agoYou appear to disagree that it is valid to vet a candidate for cultural fit: "'> It's valid, I believe, for the company to vet candidates for culture fit' I don't really agree..." You go on to say it is "counterproductive" and "dishonest." Maybe if you reduce it to a specific, binary instance ("hiring a technically-competent Midwesterner or waiting six months") you can shoehorn your point in to the conversation, but that fails to refute the validity or relevance of cultural fit.
