hey devs! i stumbled upon this talk by alicia collymore thats pretty eye-opening. its all about how to move past surface-level "vibes" when hiring engineers and really dive into cultural alignment.
she talks a lot 'bout identifying specific values from the company culture during coding challenges or system design sessions, making sure those match up with what youre looking for in your team's vibe
one cool tip she drops is using interview debriefs to assess "culture add" - thats where candidates can bring something new and different into a group. it sounds like this could be super useful when were hiring, especially since the market gets more competitive every day ⚡
what do you guys think? have any tips or experiences with culture fit in your teams?
let's chat about how to make our tech cultures awesome!full read:
