How much value do you place on cultural fit when hiring for your team? And how do you assess if you and the candidate will work well together? I'm a newer manager and would love to hear advice

I always let some skills slide if I deem someone a perfect cultural fit. I made a mistake of hiring a great cloud engineer who interrupts everyone in meetings. I got stuck with him because no one wanted to work with him. Learned my lesson

As long as they speak the language the other team members speak . They should also do the DEI training before the start of work . There should not be any cultural biases in you or any ones mind .

sorry should have clarified- i meant personality fit :)

Cultural fit is a 1000% must before anything and everything else, if they are not going to get along with the team, it is not going to work point blank. It’s sometimes hard to tell upfront, you just have to do your due diligence in asking as many questions as you can, and possibly bring in other team members into the interview process when appropriate, but do not discount cultural fit because at the end of the day if team members do not get along it’s not going to be a harmonious working environment, which doesn’t produce outcomes

this is a great explanation- thanks!

Fitting in is a top priority for us. You can teach a smart person most anything. You can’t teach a mean person to be nice. I have tried

this is good feedback thank you

Hi All ,
I am about to get a offer from
EY Global. I have 11.2 year experience in Oracle cloud HCM profile as technical consultant. I would like to know about company work culture, policies , yearly appraisals and what would be position I should negotiate with them

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
