Let’s Talk About “Culture Fit”... “We’re looking for a culture fit.” Great! What does that actually mean? Too often, “culture fit” is just a gut feeling—and a gut feeling is NOT a hiring strategy. Culture fit should be intentional, measurable, and inclusive. Otherwise? It’s just an excuse to hire people who feel familiar. Agree or Disagree? 🤔

We want to hear: What’s the best hiring advice you’ve ever received?

A+ players don’t want to work for B+ leaders. (If you want the best, you have to lead at that level.)

Ever Lost a Great Hire to a Counteroffer? Brutal, right? Here’s a hard truth: If someone takes a counteroffer, they were never really yours to begin with. Top candidates don’t just chase money—they want growth, impact, and leadership that actually gets it. So if you’re losing hires to counteroffers, ask yourself: — Were they really sold on the vision? — Did they see a clear path forward with you? — Or were they just looking for leverage? Something to think about.

Playing it safe in hiring often means: — The person who checks all the boxes but won’t push the team forward. — The one who won’t challenge leadership. — The “sure thing” who’s… fine. But fine doesn’t build great companies. Hot Take: What if the safe hire is actually the riskiest one?

The 3-Interview Rule If you can’t figure out whether a candidate is the right fit in three interviews or less, the problem isn’t them. It’s your hiring process. Too many interviews = lost candidates. Get clear, get focused, and get it done.
