As an outsider I can feel the culture just by walking into a building – I often have that experience when I visit our clients. At CareerBuilder we have spent a lot of time defining and talking about our company values, which are the underpinnings of our culture. We evaluate each other on how much we embody the values and therefore the culture. While that might not work for everyone, culture is an important topic as the economy begins to rebound. Do the existing employees still match the culture? Did we as an organization preserve our culture through the recession? How well do our most recent recruits fit with our culture? These and other questions are important to answer before truly cranking up the recruiting engine full speed. Thanks for the article. Culture is such a great topic of discussion.

One of my clients is a casino, and they wrestled with high turnover until employing behavioral assessment tools in tandem with job-modeling to determine if a candidate would do well in a floor position & keep their cool in the circus-like, demanding and public-facing work environment. I know that would be my idea of hell! “One man’s paradise is another’s hell” is so true!

Yes, selection is mission critical. Yes, culture fit and personality match are critical. Time, commitment and buy-in for a well executed selection process are where many organizations fall short. Beyond experience, talent, and skill is personality match and culture fit. After assessments and a robust interview process one should have an 80% match of best fit.

If you are focused on retention strategies it is critical to consider. Companies should determine "what good looks like" regarding all facets including company culture and fit with immediate leader before opening a job...how seldom this is done. Interesting article.
