Leadership and Life Essentials: The Hiring Filter You're Not Using - How Your Core Values Should Drive Every Interview

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of defining core values to improve hiring for culture fit and avoid misalignments in teams.

Hiring for culture fit sounds straightforward until you're sitting across from someone who looks great on paper, says all the right things, and something still feels off. That gut feeling is data — but only if your values are defined clearly enough to tell you what you're actually listening for. One bad culture fit can unravel a team fast, and it happens more often than it should.
