We recently interviewed a candidate who had all the right experience, but the team felt like something was “off” in terms of culture fit. I want to be fair in the hiring process and not base decisions on vague feelings, but at the same time, I know that team dynamics matter. How do you all define and assess culture fit in an objective way?

Was the team able to specify what felt “off”?

You need to really drill down on this, since it appears to trump all other qualifications. Worst case scenario, the team is looking for a specific “demographic” but are beating around the bush to not appear discriminatory.

Did you share that assessment?

Interviews are awkward in nature and candidates are likely nervous. Not everyone can be “on” like a lightbulb. Unless being a superstar presenter is a core requirement, I feel like you can maybe push back a bit on your team.
