I’ve heard recruiters mention “culture fit” a lot, but it can mean different things depending on the company. From a candidate perspective it’s sometimes hard to interpret. How do recruiters usually evaluate that?

In practice it usually means how someone collaborates, handles feedback, and communicates with the team. The tricky part is every company defines it differently. Good interviewers try to translate it into specific behaviors rather than vague “fit.”
