When the organisation hires a person they expect the employee to become a long-lasting and

the cultural values of the organisation. There are several ways to build cultural fit during
hiring and recruitment processes (Mello J.A., pg 1-12)
Cultural fit: This term is used to define a candidate’s ability to “fit in” values and ethics of
an organization. Cultural fit has become more popular recently as companies have started
looking for candidates who not only perfectly match the job description, but who also fit the
company culture as a whole. Having a strong culture at an organisation brings a positive
environment and attracts more talent to the organisation.
The cultural plays a vital role in the success of the organisation, unique culture at workplace
maintains a fun, passionate, and ethical work environment. As different candidates as a
different set of skills, the trick is to find the candidate that fits in the company culture (Forbes
2018).

which the organisation is looking for and how well the candidate will fit in company culture.
For example, describe the culture you are looking for your ideal company.
Scientific data is obtained from pre-hire assessments such as cognitive and personality test,
which indicates the behaviour of an employee in real life situation. These are some steps
which an organisation should follow to hire candidate suitable as per the culture of the
organization (Margolis, 2016).
