What is the key thing that you need to ask a candidate, if you consider company culture to be an important factor?
Find out the type of environment in which your candidates are able to thrive and feel comfortable in and always look for qualities that enhance your existing or aspirational culture. However, it is fundamental that you are honest and transparent about your current environment and the aspirational culture you may be working towards. We all want to be inclusive, but promising something you can’t deliver, or aren’t close to being able to deliver, will only ever impact your employer brand negatively.
Some example questions are:
- How would you describe your working style?
- What environments have you enjoyed working in most?
- Tell me about a time where you thrived in your job?
- How would your co-workers describe you?
- What working culture would bring out the best in you?
What should be considered a good fit for the company?
