The best way to begin to ensure cultural fit is for someone at the hiring company to know the candidate. This provides an instant reference and provides a high comfort level. Most hires are made through this kind of internal referral.
There are pitfalls though.
The comfort level created can prevent companies and candidates from going through the necessary due diligence. The candidate may not meet as many interviewers, interviewers may have a positive bias toward the candidates, and references may not be checked. This can lead to the dual problems of losing a new hire, and damaging existing relationships.
Have you ever experienced the hire of a professional colleague that didn’t work out?
