Say a welder shows interest in your vacancy and you want to know whether their way of working fits your team.

Step 1 of 3
Describe your team’s culture
A questionnaire of workplace scenarios maps your view of the team culture. One response does not automatically represent the whole team.

Step 2 of 3
Candidates can add a personality profile
The Big Five assessment is optional. Not every candidate has a personality profile; you can still review a match and start a conversation without it.

Culture fit adds context
Where both sides have filled in their part, culture fit adds context to a match. Use it to ask questions, for example how the candidate handled a last-minute change, not as a guarantee or a hiring decision.

The method
How Werkvolk assesses culture fit
Werkvolk uses its own scenarios, inspired by the Competing Values Framework. They help you discuss working habits. They do not prove suitability.
Culture test
An initial culture profile from your perspective. Ask colleagues to take it too.
Culture measurement
Results per team and department, so you see the culture of the crew you hire for.
OCAI
The original OCAI divides 100 points over four statements for six culture aspects.

Questions about culture
Find an answer quickly
How do I assess the culture fit of a candidate?
Take the culture test to describe your team. Where a candidate has a personality profile, culture fit adds context to the match. Use it to prepare questions. It does not replace assessing experience, skills and practical conditions, and a different style can add value.
Which model do you use?
Werkvolk uses its own CVF-inspired scenarios for culture, alongside Big Five for personality. This is not the original OCAI questionnaire. Use results to discuss expectations alongside experience and skills.
Does culture matching cost extra?
Available culture-fit and personality information is part of matching. Assessments are optional and not every match includes this information. Culture Suite is the separate service for wider team and department measurement; pricing explains what your plan includes.
How many colleagues need to take part?
The dashboard shows participation progress. Include different roles and teams so you are not only seeing one group’s perspective. Interpret results in the context of who took part.
Are the answers anonymous?
Organisation results are displayed in groups. Agree in advance who can access the measurement and reports, and inform participants about the purpose and use. Handle culture data carefully, especially in small teams.
Do employees also receive a personal report?
Yes, each participant receives a personal culture report after completing the measurement: their own profile, how it fits within the company culture and what that means for them. The report becomes available once the full measurement is completed, so the comparison stays reliable.
Can I put management’s culture next to the team’s?
Yes. The gap analysis shows culture as the manager estimates it next to culture as the team experiences it. It is simply part of your measurement, like the per-department heatmap.
