The candidate can also be toxic and unprofessional, this is a two-way street. What if the company doesn't want to bring "sexism, bullying and worse" into the group?
- 1337biz 8y agoSuch an elegant response. Thanks you for that!
- donbright 8y agothen wouldn't we would be able to correlate rates of lower toxic behavior, like harassment and conflict, with the practice of 'cultural fit'? like doing some kind of empirical study? ironically i would wager that the people who can pass a 'cultural fit' test with the highest score might actually be Sociopaths, since they are the world experts at being charming to complete and utter strangers.
- BadassFractal 8y agoNote I'm not defending a "cultural fit test" here. I don't even know what that means, it's an amorphous concept with few specifics, everybody defines it how they want. My point is that from day 1 you have to protect your group from outsiders who are unprofessional, toxic, and will sink morale and productivity. How you do it is up to you, but the issue cannot be naively framed as "companies are bad and sexist, while pure, good-natured, kind human beings are rejected from positions they deserve unfairly". That's a nice fairy tale that falls apart once you yourself spend a few years hiring.
