The beer thing happens at almost every job, it's just human nature. People also seem forget that it goes both ways. For example, we had a candidate come in. He had good technical and communication skills, he could get along. I had zero doubts about his ability to perform the job well. I didn't hire him because I thought that he would would leave because due to the lack of cultural fit and to the fact that cultural fit was a deal breaker for him. I didn't ask him about his interests. Instead I asked him questions about who he worked with, conflicts he had to solve with past co-workers, etc. He opened up and talked about close friendships at most jobs. He had two jobs where he didn't stay long. When he talked about those, you could tell that he got along but didn't have much in common with his co-workers. So I called his old bosses and one said "Oh, he was great, learned quickly. I wish he would've stayed." When I asked why he left, he said "Well, we're mostly in our late 40s-50, we have families, I don't know if it was the right fit. He wanted somebody to get a beer with after work and go camping on weekends."
