I don't have any data, but I know of several companies that take 'culture fit' very seriously and won't hire a candidate if they feel that they won't fit in.
- lzw 16y agoBy definition this is a form of political correctness. I think that there are a lot of companies run by people eho think they are tolerant but who really aren't and reject candidates for the simple crime of growing up in a differnt part of the country. For instance, someone i know at amazon will not hire people from the south. He's a liberal and as "tolerant" as he thinks is, he thinks everyone from the south is stupid and evil, and so he won't hire them. Personally, I would take politics into account. I had to work with some leftists who were constantly sowing dissent in the company because they thought anything having to do with profit was evil. I'd want to screen those kinds out, they led several pointless sorta revolts.
