Culture fit and personality

You set the culture of the team you're hiring for with a scientifically grounded test. Every candidate takes a short personality test. The matching puts both side by side and shows how someone relates to that team. So you decide on data instead of on gut feeling after a single interview.

The Competing Values Framework, measured with the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument, is one of the most used and most researched models for organisational culture. It describes culture across four dimensions: collaborate, create, compete and control. Almost every organisation has some of all four, and it is the balance between them that makes your culture recognisable.

For matching, you set the culture of the team you're hiring for, which takes a few minutes. Want to measure your whole organisation's culture, per team or department, with repeat measurements over time? That's Culture Suite.

Nothing extra. Culture-fit matching is included with every vacancy, including the free plan. Want to measure your whole organisation's culture, per team or department? That's Culture Suite, a separate product from 49 euro per month.

A few minutes per person, on a phone or a laptop. The more colleagues take part, the more reliable the picture, but you do not need a full response rate to start. You can happily begin with one team and expand later.

It compares how managers assess the culture of their own team with how the team experiences it. Where those two are far apart is often where turnover and frustration come from. This gap analysis is part of Culture Suite, independent of your vacancies.

A short test based on the Big Five model. It measures no right or wrong and is not a selection instrument on its own: it describes how someone works and communicates. The result is compared with the culture profile of the team you are hiring for.

Because most early leavers are not about capability, they are about fit. Employers who screen on culture fit before hiring see up to 32% less turnover among new employees. Someone who fits the way the team works stays, even when the first weeks are hard.

That's what Culture Suite is for: you create departments, compare their culture profiles and see right away where they differ. For matching on a vacancy, the culture of that one team is enough.

Yes. CVF and OCAI were developed academically and are widely validated in organisational culture research, and the Big Five model is the best supported personality model in work psychology. We did not invent a theory of our own: we made existing, tested models usable inside the hiring process.
