As a recruiter, how do you determine “culture fit” - does that just mean you don’t like them? Or are there actual culture fit metrics?

🔥This question. "Culture fit" can be such a murky, coded term — and sometimes it does just mean “not our vibe,” which feels dangerously subjective. I’d love to know: what are the actual signals you look for when assessing fit? Are there structured questions behind the scenes, or is it still mostly gut feel?

Culture fit should never mean “I don’t like them”. Strong recruiters look for values alignment, how someone collaborates, handles feedback, and works in ambiguity. When it’s vague, it’s a red flag.
